Which consequence results when a GPS satellite clock's frequency deviates due to general relativistic effects?

A)Positional error accumulation increases sharply
B)Transmitter transistors degrade significantly faster
C)Signal encryption key pairs mismatches occur
D)Solar panel energy production sharply drops

💡 Explanation

Positional accuracy degrades because time dilation induces a clock frequency difference, causing phase errors; therefore increased ranging errors, rather than radiation damage because adjustments are constantly applied, in accordance with the principle of equivalence.
