Which effect on observed star positions arises when light travels through a galaxy's dense spacetime?

A)Gravitational lensing refracts starlight
B)Redshift decreases photon's energy
C)Blue shift compresses spacetime
D)Cosmic parallax distorts wavelengths

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime is warped by the galaxy's mass, therefore, starlight bends rather than travelling straight. Redshift is a different effect from expansion, rather than spacetime curvature, involving decreasing photon energy.
