An artificial satellite revolves around a planet for which gravitational force $(F)$ varies with distance $r$ from its centre as $F \propto r^2$. If $v_0$ is its orbital speed,then

  • A
    $v_0 \propto r^{-1/2}$
  • B
    $v_0 \propto r^{3/2}$
  • C
    $v_0 \propto r^{-3/2}$
  • D
    $v_0 \propto r$
