Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Tropic of Capricorn

Geostationary satellites revolve around the Earth at the Equator. Because of that, they do not have any visibility over the polar regions of the Earth, i.e. the North and South Poles. However, they can have some visibility over the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer.
