Which outcome occurs when gravity bends starlight passing a massive object?

A)Apparent stellar position shift occurs
B)Stellar spectra shows increased blueshift
C)Observed parallax angles stay constant
D)Observed stellar magnitude decreases

💡 Explanation

Gravitational Lensing causes the starlight’s path to curve due to spacetime distortion; therefore, the apparent position of the star shifts rather than changes regarding observed magnitude or parallax because the bending alters the arrival angle.
