Physics
A wire stretched between two fixed supports, is plucked exactly in the middle and then released. It executes (neglect the resistance of the medium) —
- resonant vibrations
- natural vibrations
- damped vibrations
- forced vibrations.

Answer
natural vibrations
Reason — When a wire stretched between the two fixed supports, is plucked exactly in the middle and then released, it will experience natural vibrations as no external force is acting on it and the vibrations are under restoring force.
The amplitude of vibrations remains constant and will continue forever as resistance of the medium is negligible.
