Which mechanism causes apparent deflection of starlight passing near a black hole?

A)Spacetime curvature by extreme mass
B)Refraction due to intense gravity
C)Doppler shift and frequency alteration
D)Quantum entanglement and wave interference

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature near a massive object bends the path of light. The Extreme mass warps space, therefore starlight appears to deflect, rather than spectral shifting or quantum processes being the primary cause.
