Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct option is 3.

3 geostationary satellites are required for continuous global coverage. In a geostationary orbit around the Earth, which means they orbit at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, these satellites are placed in a strategic location. The majority of the Earth's surface may be covered by three geostationary satellites that are evenly positioned around the equator.
