Which risk increases when GPS satellite atomic clocks measure slower?

A)Ionospheric signal propagation delay
B)Ephemeris data processing latency
C)Positioning accuracy degrades rapidly
D)Ground station communication disruptions occur

💡 Explanation

Positioning accuracy gets worse because General Relativity predicts time dilation due to weaker gravitational potential via spacetime; therefore satellite clocks must adjust their frequency rather than maintaining onboard time measurements, different from ground-based inertial frames.
