Which gravitational lensing effect on spacetime results when a massive astrophysical object lies directly between a distant light source and an observer?

💡 Explanation

An Einstein Ring forms because spacetime is curved and distorted by a massive object acting as a lens. Light rays bend around it, converging; therefore, only an Einstein ring results, rather than redshift or shearing, which require different alignments or conditions.
