B Correct answer
Explanation

PSLV primarily launches satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), despite its name emphasizing polar capability. Polar sun-synchronous is also common but GTO is the standard transfer orbit for communication satellites. 'Equitorial' and 'Oceanstationary' are not standard orbit terms.
