Which consequence occurs when a gravitational field prevents light from escaping?

A)Formation of an event horizon
B)Increased gravitational lensing effect
C)Blueshift of emitted radiation pulses
D)Time dilation approaches minimum rate

💡 Explanation

The formation of an event horizon occurs because General Relativity's principle of equivalence dictates extreme spacetime curvature creates a boundary where the escape velocity meets the speed of light; gravity confines everything. Therefore, an event horizon appears, rather than just gravitational lensing, because energy-mass creates sufficient spacetime curvature within it.
