Which mechanism influences observed photon frequency passing near supermassive black holes?

A)Gravitational redshift widens event horizons
B)Spacetime distortion affects photon energy
C)Hawking radiation alters luminosity spectra
D)Relativistic jets enhance Doppler blue-shift

💡 Explanation

Spacetime distortion near intense gravity affects the photon's energy through the **Shapiro delay**. Because spacetime curvature increases photon path length, therefore a redshift occurs rather than intrinsic luminosity shifts from Hawking radiation.
