Which mechanism causes gravitational shift affecting escape velocity?

A)Spacetime curvature affects locally measured lengths✓
B)Increased kinetic energy converts to resistance
C)Frame dragging increases apparent inertia
D)Tidal forces distort the geodesics

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature bends trajectories around massive objects because the equivalence principle means gravitational effects equal acceleration. The local measurement of distance is affected on geodesics; therefore, escape velocity changes rather than due to changes of object inertia.
