Four types of oscillatory systems: a simple pendulum; a physical pendulum; a torsional pendulum and a springmass system, each of same time period is taken to the Moon. If time periods are measured on the moon, which system or systems will have it unchanged?

Question

Four types of oscillatory systems: a simple pendulum; a physical pendulum; a torsional pendulum and a springmass system, each of same time period is taken to the Moon. If time periods are measured on the moon, which system or systems will have it unchanged? (A) only spring-mass system (B) spring-mass system and torsional pendulum (C) spring-mass system and physical pendulum (D) none of these

Both the spring-mass system and torsional pendulum have no dependence on gravitational acceleration for their time periods.
