Hi Candidate,

A geostationary satellite moves from West to East and has a time period of Oscillation about it's axis which is equal to 24 hours same as the Earth. It pretends to be stationary with respect to the Earth but if we talk about the Angular Speeds of both the Earth and the Geostationary satellite, they are different.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Hope that this answer helps you.
