Which effect arises near black holes due to the equivalence principle?

A)Gravitational redshift of emitted light
B)Increased Hawking radiation emission
C)Spacetime becomes locally Minkowski flat
D)Singularity formation is locally avoided

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift occurs near black holes because photons lose energy climbing out, equivalent to energy needed to overcome gravity, therefore redshift intensifies, rather than spacetime becoming intrinsically flat or singularities disappearing as those require changes not dictated solely by equivalence.
