Which effect on gravitational waves occurs when propagation traverses regions of extreme spacetime curvature?

A)Wave amplitude interference patterns emerge
B)Wave frequency stays precisely constant
C)Wave polarity remains entirely static
D)Wave velocity always retains isotropy

💡 Explanation

Interference arises because spacetime curvature focuses or defocuses wave paths, causing varying path lengths and amplitudes at the detector. The mechanism involved is gravitational lensing; therefore, the observed waves constructively or destructively interfere, rather than keeping frequency or velocity constant.
