In SHM, force propto displacement

Q. If F is restoring force, $K$ is force constant and $y$ is displacement, which of the following expressions represent the equation of Simple Harmonic Motion ?

$F = K y$

$F = Ky$

$F = - Ky$

None of the above.

In SHM, force $\propto$ displacement

Q. If F is restoring force, K is force constant and y is displacement, which of the following expressions represent the equation of Simple Harmonic Motion ?

F=K​y

F=Ky

F=−Ky
