Detailed Solution

Gravitational force large (overrightarrow {F_g}) of attraction of a planet on a satellite moving in circular orbit around the planet is radially inward and the direction of velocity  large (overrightarrow {V}) of the satellite is along the tangent. So rate of work done on the satellite = large overrightarrow {F_g}.overrightarrow V

= Fg V cos 900 = 0

Hence option - (2) is right.
