Which consequence results when gravitational acceleration exceeds a rocket engine's thrust?

A)Decreased exhaust velocity occurs
B)Increased propellant consumption happens
C)Gravitational redshift of emitted light
D)Rocket engine nozzle overheating appears

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift results because the equivalence principle dictates gravity affects light as acceleration does; rather than thrust anomalies slowing velocities, photons lose energy climbing, causing redshift; therefore, engine parameters are mostly unaffected at that threshold.
