Solution

The correct option is A A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Gravitational force is a conservative force. A conservative force is one in which the work done is path independents and depends only upon the position of the object. Hence work done by gravitational force is zero in a closed path, since both the initial point and final point are the same.
