Geo stationary Satellites are generally placed at an altitude of (in Km)
A
33000
B
34000
C
36000
D
38000
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Geostationary satellites are those which orbit around the earth and they are placed at an altitude of approximately 35, 800 kilometers. Thus, we can conclude their height to be 36000 km.

Detailed explanation-2: -A geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36000 km from the surface of the earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The orbit of geostationary satellites is much higher-around 36, 000 km. The satellite is positioned directly above the equator, and its speed is presicely matched the the speed of rotation of the Earth. The result is that the satellite stays in the same location relative to the earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -1.2. 1 Geostationary satellites. A geostationary satellite is in an orbit that can only be achieved at an altitude very close to 35, 786 km (22, 236 miles) and which keeps the satellite fixed over one longitude at the equator. The satellite appears motionless at a fixed position in the sky to ground observers.
