Solution

The correct option is A True

Gravitation:

  1. Yes, it is necessary for a satellite's plane to pass through the earth's center.
  2. Unless it gets taken by another body, such as the sun, after leaving Earth's orbit.
  3. An orbit revolves around a mass center (or the barycenter formed by two masses).
  4. The plane intersects the mass center in both cases.

Therefore the statement is true.
