Navigation satellites under India’s NavIC system are primarily placed in:

1. Polar orbit
2. Low Earth Orbit
3. Geostationary/Geosynchronous orbit
4. Sun-synchronous orbit

Correct answer: Geostationary/Geosynchronous orbit

Solution

NavIC is India’s regional navigation satellite system, and its satellites are placed in geostationary/geosynchronous orbits. This helps provide continuous coverage over the Indian region. Hence, the correct option is the geostationary/geosynchronous orbit.
