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

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