Correct Answer: Geostationary orbit


Solution : The correct option is Geostationary orbit .

Satellites that orbit directly above the equator are in geostationary orbits. In a geostationary orbit, a satellite orbits the Earth at the same rate as the Earth rotates on its axis, allowing the satellite to remain stationary relative to a fixed point on the Earth's surface. They're commonly used for communication and weather monitoring.
