Consider the low earth orbit (LEO) and the geo synchronous orbit (GSO). Then
(A) $\Delta V$ requirement for launch to $\mathrm{LEO}$ is greater than that for $\mathrm{GSO},$ and altitude of $\mathrm{LEO}$ is
lower than that of GSO
(B) $\Delta V$ requirement for launch to $\mathrm{LEO}$ is lower than that for GSO, and altitude of $\mathrm{LEO}$ is
lower than that of GSO
(C) $\Delta V$ requirement for launch to LEO is greater than that for GSO, and altitude of LEO is
greater than that of GSO
(D) $\Delta V$ requirement for launch to $\mathrm{LEO}$ is lower than that for GSO, and altitude of $\mathrm{LEO}$ is
greater than that of GSO
