Answer:

D) the universal law of gravitation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Voyager 1 is actually decelerating as it moves outwards of the solar system. Its true the the speed of the satellite is enough to overcome the gravitational field of the solar system, but still the gravitational force acts on the satellite so as the force is opposing the direction of motion of the satellite, it slows down as moving away the solar system.
