Which consequence occurs due to Einstein's equivalence principle in accelerating elevators?

A)Beam deflection mimics gravity's effect
B)Temporal paradoxes spontaneously appear
C)Inertial mass becomes negative quantity
D)Spacetime folding causes quantum decoherence

💡 Explanation

The beam deflects because the equivalence principle states that the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from acceleration via a uniform force. Therefore, light bends downward (relative to the elevator frame) rather than propagating linearly; different interpretations wouldn't conserve energy-momentum.
