We know that the value of g is inversely proportional to the square of radius or g ∝ \(\frac{1}{R^2}\).

Radius of earth is minimum at poles, so acceleration due to gravity is maximum at poles. Similarly, radius of earth is maximum at equator, so acceleration due to gravity is minimum at equator. Also, acceleration due to gravity decreases as we go higher from the earth surface.

Hence, option D is correct.
