Which navigational error increases for satellites with eccentric orbits?

A)Clock drift from relativistic effects
B)Signal blockage by solar flares
C)Atmospheric drag induced orbital decay
D)Antenna misalignment toward Earth

💡 Explanation

General relativity predicts time distortion due to spacetime curvature near massive objects; orbiting satellites experience differential gravitational potential; therefore time passes slower closer to Earth; this relativistic effect results in cumulative clock drift rather than signal blockage.
