Answer
Correct Answer : c ) Conservation of Angular Momentum
Explanation :Kepler’s second law states that a planet orbiting around the sun sweeps an equal area in an equal duration of time. This is a direct result of the conservation of angular momentum. The mass of the Sun and Earth are unchanged and when the earth reaches closer to the sun it needs to move faster as the radius is less. While the earth moves farther from Sun the radius of the orbit increases resulting in a slower speed of earth.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
