Solution

The correct option is C Sun-synchronous
Remote sensing satellites, carrying ocean and atmospheric information require sunlight consistently. This consistent lighting is a useful characteristic for satellites that image the Earth's surface in visible or infrared wavelengths. So, these satellites are placed in Sun-synchronous objects.
