Which consequence arises because of general relativity's equivalence principle impacting geodesy?

A)Precise clock synchronization becomes location-dependent
B)Satellite signal scintillation diminishes considerably
C)Gravitational lensing effects become negligible
D)Orbital decay rates equalize for all satellites

💡 Explanation

The equivalence principle causes clock rates vary with gravitational potential; therefore altitude affects time, influencing GPS accuracy rather than equalizing rates and because satellite clock drift requires continuous correction rather than mitigating lensing or scintillation.
