Which effect increases when a GPS satellite slows unexpectedly?

A)Increased spacetime curvature near satellite
B)Reduced signal Doppler shift
C)Decreased atomic clock frequency
D)Mitigated atmospheric signal interference

💡 Explanation

Slowing reduces the satellite's kinetic energy, slightly increasing its effective mass, therefore gravitational effects increase creating greater spacetime curvature due to its proximity to Earth, rather than other factors affecting signal correctness.
