The correct statement is:
It travels fastest and experiences a stronger gravitational pull when it is closest to the sun.
This statement accurately reflects Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which state that a planet moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the sun (perihelion) due to the stronger gravitational force acting on it.
