    d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

    Explanation:

    The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.
