Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -
(c)
Acceleration due to gravity at a height 
above the earth’s surface is 
Where 
is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface
At 
At 
Acceleration due to gravity at a depth 
below the earth’s surface is 
At 
At the centre of earth, 
Thus, the acceleration due to gravity is maximum on the earth’s surface
