Which consequence results when the strong equivalence principle fails?

A)Gravitational waves become undetectable
B)Local Lorentz invariance is violated
C)Tidal forces spontaneously equilibrate
D)Free-fall trajectories depend on composition

💡 Explanation

If the strong equivalence principle fails that means the relationship between gravity and inertia breaks down, leading to composition-dependent trajectories because inertial masses would no longer be universally equivalent to gravitational masses; therefore, free-fall trajectories diverge rather than gravity exhibiting uniform acceleration for all masses.
