← ScienceWhich mechanism distorts observed galactic shapes near black holes?
A)Gravitational lensing by spacetime curvature✓
B)Doppler shift altering light wavelengths
C)Dust absorption of optical components
D)Electromagnetic interference with signal processing
💡 Explanation
Galactic shapes distort because gravitational signals bend due to spacetime curvature near the black hold, known as gravitational lensing. Therefore, the observed light path changes, rather than just a frequency shift, dust absorption, or signal interference without relation to gravitational fields.
