Solution

The correct option is A $11.2 k m s^{- 1}$
Escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence earth.
For escape velocity
$K E + U = 0$
$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{G M m}{r}$
$v_{e s c a p e} = \sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{r}}$
$V_{e s c a p e} = 11.2 K m S^{- 1}$
