$A$ body is moving in a low circular orbit about a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The radius of the orbit can be taken to be $R$ itself. Then the ratio of the speed of this body in the orbit to the escape velocity from the planet is

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}$
