How is the acceleration due to gravity at a height \( h \) above the earth's surface approximated for \( h \ll R_E \)?

1. A
   \( g(h) \approx g(1 - \frac{h}{R_E}) \)
2. B
   \( g(h) \approx g(1 - \frac{2h}{R_E}) \)
3. C
   \( g(h) \approx g(1 + \frac{2h}{R_E}) \)
4. D
   \( g(h) \approx g(1 + \frac{h}{R_E}) \)
