Chandrayaan-2 orbiter operates mainly in:

1. Low Earth orbit
2. Lunar polar orbit
3. Geostationary orbit
4. Transfer orbit

Correct answer: Lunar polar orbit

Solution

Chandrayaan-2 orbiter was inserted into a lunar polar orbit to study the Moon from a near-polar trajectory. This orbit helps in mapping and remote sensing of the lunar surface. It is not a terrestrial orbit like LEO or geostationary orbit.
