Which consequence results when star light passes near a black hole?

A)Light will be visibly redshifted
B)Pair production becomes increasingly likely
C)Neutrino emissions would sharply decrease
D)Electron degeneracy pressure decreases there

💡 Explanation

Star light redshifts due to gravitational time dilation because spacetime curvature becomes extremer near the black hole horizon, stretching the photon wavelength. Therefore, redshift occurs rather than other effects, because those require higher energies or specific particle interactions.
