← ScienceWhich relativistic effect occurs because gravity's equivalence to acceleration?
A)Gravitational lensing bends starlight trajectories.✓
B)Inertial frames cause spacetime distortion.
C)Quantum entanglement ensures faster communication.
D)Objects maintain steady cosmic microwave background.
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because gravity is equivalent to acceleration per general relativity; photons follow curved spacetime geodesics near massive objects. Therefore, light bends, rather than quantum effects or simply steady background features distorting spacetime.
