Which phenomenon causes path deviation exhibited as gravitational lensing in a strong gravitational field?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of photons. A massive object distorts spacetime geometry; therefore light follows this curve, rather than traveling in a straight line as it would through flat spacetime.
