Answer

Time period of oscillation depends on angular frequency $\omega$ and not on amplitude.

Work Step by Step

Time period is independent of amplitude. It depends on the angular frequency $\omega$ of the oscillation. If $\omega$ is large time period will be small and if $\omega $ is small corresponding time period will be large whatever the amplitude of oscillation will be.
