The acceleration due to gravity at a height $h$ above the surface of the $Earth$ is $g_h$. At a depth $d = 90 \text{ km}$ below the $Earth$'s surface, the acceleration due to gravity is also $g_h$. The value of $h$ is: (in $\text{ km}$)

  • A
    $180$
  • B
    $120$
  • C
    $90$
  • D
    $45$
