If gravitational constant is decreasing with time, what will remain unchanged in case of a satellite orbiting around the earth?

If gravitational constant is decreasing with time, what will remain unchanged in case of a satellite orbiting around the earth? Correct Answer Areal velocity

The central gravitational force decreases which does not exert any torque. Hence the angular momentum and consequently areal velocity remain unchanged.
