Which consequence results when intense gravitational fields cause spacetime curvature near binary pulsars?

A)Gravitational wave emission accelerates orbital decay
B)Orbital speed increases to speed-of-light
C)Pulsar emissions become internally redshifted
D)Pulsar masses exceed Chandrasekhar limit

💡 Explanation

Gravitational wave emission causes accelerated pulsar orbital decay because these systems experience significant spacetime curvature close to their Roche lobe where energy is carried away by gravitational waves; therefore orbital decay accelerates, rather than simply causing milder orbital effects.
