  • A

    Gravitational field & potential both are zero at centre of the shell

  • B

    Gravitational field is zero not only inside the shell but at a point outside the shell also

  • C

    Inside the shell, gravitational field alone is zero

  • D

    Neither gravitational field nor gravitational potential is zero inside the shell
