Which consequence results when extreme gravitational curvature affects polarized light from a distant quasar?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light, focusing it as if through a lens. It amplifies the quasar's image. Therefore, lensing occurs, rather than excessive redshift alone because other processes cause redshift without substantial image magnification.
