At which position, the restoring force acting on a particle executing linear SHM is maximum

For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements is NOT correct?

The total energy of the particle always remains the same.
The restoring force is always directed towards a fixed point.
The restoring force is maximum at the extreme positions.
The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position.

The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position.

Explanation:

The direction of acceleration `prop` - (displacement) is always directed towards the equilibrium position.

Concept: Linear Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M.)
