Which graph correctly represents the variation of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ with radial distance $(r)$ from the centre of the earth (radius of the earth $= R_e$)?

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface at the poles is $g$ and the angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the poles is $\omega$. An object is weighed at the equator and at a height $h$ above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be the same,then $h$ is: ($h << R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth)

What will be the acceleration due to gravity at a height $h$ above the Earth's surface,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth?

Starting from the centre of the earth having radius $R$,the variation of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity) is shown by:

Acceleration due to gravity $g$ for a body of mass $m$ on the Earth's surface is proportional to (Radius of Earth $= R$,mass of Earth $= M$)
