Answer»

The correct option is (a) 0°

For EXPLANATION: Another DEFINITION of inclination is the angle between the equatorial plane and the satellite ORBITAL plane as the satellite enters the northern HEMISPHERE. When the angle of inclination is 0°, the satellite is directly above the equator. Orbits with 0° inclination are generally called equatorial orbits.
