$A$ small planet is revolving around a very massive star in a circular orbit of radius $R$ with a period of revolution $T$. If the gravitational force between the planet and the star were proportional to $R^{-5/2}$,then $T$ would be proportional to:

  • A
    $R^{3/2}$
  • B
    $R^{3/5}$
  • C
    $R^{7/2}$
  • D
    $R^{7/4}$
