(A) M
(B) O
(C) D
(D) I​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) D.

Explanation:

The planet will experience more gravitational force as it will near the sun. so, due to this, its velocity will also decrease. But in order to get the velocity of object more, there should be more difference between the objects. So, in the figure D is the farthest point from the sun. Do it will experience a small gravitational force due which it will also experience more velocity.
