Which consequence results when gravity increases spacetime curvature near pulsars?

A)Gravitational waves become directly detectable
B)Precise timing exhibits Shapiro delay
C)Pulsar spin-down rate immediately decreases
D)Magnetic field alignment quickly degrades

💡 Explanation

Increased gravitational spacetime curvature causes Shapiro delay which affects precise timing of pulsar signals because photons take longer paths. Therefore, delays are observed rather than direct wave detection, because instrumentation also matters; pulsar spin is unaffected, rather than rapidly degraded magnetic fields.
