Which mechanism limits maximal escape velocity near black holes?

A)Spacetime curvature inhibits light propagation
B)Event horizon prevents exhaust emission
C)Extreme gravity crushes vehicle structure
D)Fuel consumption becomes exponentially expensive

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature causes photons to follow increasingly curved paths, limiting escape because photons cannot move outwards to escape; therefore, increased curvature inhibits escape velocity, rather than structural limits or excessive fuel consumption.
