If the escape velocity of a body from Earth's surface is Ve​, what will be the escape velocity of the same body from a height equal to 3 times the Earth's radius (3r) from the surface?

A) The escape velocity will be Ve​ because the height does not affect the escape velocity.
B) The escape velocity will be greater than Ve​ due to the increased distance from Earth's center.
C) The escape velocity will be less than Ve​ because the body is already at a height.
D) The escape velocity will be half of Ve​ since the height is tripled.
