Which mechanism causes perceived duration changes near black holes?

A)Gravitational Time Dilation✓

B)Length Contraction Increase

C)Cosmic Background Radiation Shift

D)Hawking Radiation Enhancement

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation causes time to slow near massive objects because increased gravity affects spacetime. Therefore, time slows dramatically near a black hole rather than length contraction, which affects spatial dimensions; it's an effect that occurs even compared to flat uncurved spacetime based on the equivalence principle.
