← ScienceWhich consequence results when a black hole's event horizon nears a surrounding accretion disk?
A)Hawking radiation emission increases rapidly
B)Spacetime curvature increases markedly✓
C)Disk material abruptly stops accreting
D)Black hole spin-rate abruptly decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased proximity of the very dense black hole to the accretion disk increases spacetime curvature because gravity exhibits inverse square behavior; therefore it increases dramatically, rather than causing subtle radiation changes or disk/spin alterations.
