Solution

The correct options are
B everywhere gravitational field is zero.
C everywhere gravitational potential is same.
D everywhere gravitational field is same.
The gravitational field inside a spherical shell is zero throughout.
Because of this zero field there is no change in the potential (potential changes only when the field is non zero).
Thus B,C,D are correct.
