Satellite launch sites are invariably located on Eastern seaboards to ensure that
A
launch takes place eastward
B
expenditure of propulsion fuel is reduced during plane changing
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interplanetary mission operations may be considered in four phases: the Launch Phase, the Cruise Phase, the Encounter Phase, and, depending on the state of spacecraft health and mission funding, the Extended Operations Phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -When transmitting, a high-gain antenna allows more of the transmitted power to be sent in the direction of the receiver, increasing the received signal strength. When receiving, a high gain antenna captures more of the signal, again increasing signal strength.

Detailed explanation-3: -APPLE. The Ariane Passenger Payload Experiment (APPLE) was ISRO’s first indigenous, experimental communication satellite. It was launched into GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) by the third development flight of ESA’a Ariane vehicle from Kourou on June 19, 1981.
