I already answered this question for you and the answer was not A.
Check my previous answer.
You have two "backward motions" to choose among.
Retrograde motion describe the
A backward motion of the stars relative to Earth
B uniform circular motion exhibited by the planets
C irregular speeds at which the planet travel.
D backward motion of the planets with respect to the stars
I think the answer is A
