The answer is C.
Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point). Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.
Answers:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds
are given by:
(1)
Where:
is the angular frequency
is the radius of the orbit of each satellite
is the period of the orbit of each satellite
Isolating

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

b) Acceleration
is defined as the variation of velocity in time:
