Satellites are kept in orbit around the Earth by the "centripetal force" due to the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite.

So, Option (C) is the correct answer.

B is the correct option.

Mosha mongba said:   2 years ago
B option is correct.

Because the centrifugal force is the force that kept an object moving forward whereas centripetal force is the force that act towards the centre which kept the object in its orbit.
