Solution
The correct option is C Period is equal to the period of rotation of the earth about its axis
Relay satellite has to forces on the are unstartly suppose if the satellite is stable in space of a certain position, then as the earth rotate satellite can show once one part and later another part which is absorb movement. Therefore the satellite has to revolve around the earth with same angular speed. Therefore the time period of satellite revolution should be same as time period of the rotation of earth and rotation of the satellite should be about axis of earth's rotation. So its period is equal to period of rotation of the earth about its axis.
