A satellite orbiting close to the surface of earth does not fall down because the gravitational pull of earth

A

The Earth does not exert any force on the water.

B

The Earth's force of attraction on the water is exactly balanced by the force created by the satellite's motion.

C

The water and the glass have the same acceleration, equal to g, toward the center of the Earth, and hence there is no relative motion between them.

D

The gravitational attraction between the glass and the water balances the Earth's attraction on the water.
