Which outcome occurs when a geodesic deviates near spacetime curvature?

A)Tidal forces are experienced locally
B)Spacetime becomes nearly Minkowski space
C)Gravitational lensing is always absent
D)Gravitational redshift becomes negligible

💡 Explanation

Tidal forces arise because of variations in gravitational field strength; geodesic deviation describes this effect. Because spacetime curvature dictates how gravity acts on objects, therefore curvature variations influence tidal forces, rather than Minkowski space because this would not give rise to gravity.
