A. Same

B. Increase

C. Decrease

D. Become Zero

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

If the earth stops rotating then the value of 'g' at equator will increase because when the earth rotates the gravity at every point remains uniform and when it stops rotating, the gravity increases as pressure is exerted on only one point at the equator.
