Detailed Solution

Only force acting on a satellite is the gravitational force of attraction of earth.So it is a freely falling body.

Since the force on the body is radially inward and its velocity is tangential , gravitational force does no work on the satellite .So no energy is supplied to the satellite for its motion.Hence option - (2) is right.
