Answer:

B. To help spacecraft increase velocity without using additional fuel

Explanation:

The gravitational slingshot is the use of the gravity of a planet or other astronomical object to alter the path and velocity of a spacecraft. It  also helps slow down a spacecraft, change their orbits into directions they could never reach, or accelerate to high velocities (without using additonal fuel).
