The phase constant can be found from the displacement at time:

ATwo periods
BTime zero
COne period
DHalf period
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Time zero
1. Amplitude and displacement together fix the phase. 2. The displacement is read at the start of the motion. 3. That is at time zero. _Source: syllabus Physics Part II, Chapter 14, Oscillations._
