Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites are the least expensive to build and launch because they operate closer to the Earth, requiring less powerful launch vehicles and less fuel to reach their operational orbit compared to GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), MEO (Medium Earth Orbit), or VEO (not a commonly used term in satellite classifications).
