Which deflection results for a photon approaching Jupiter?

A)Gravitational lensing slightly alters trajectory
B)Doppler shift causes higher frequencies
C)The photosphere absorbs most photons
D)Relativistic effects are negligible

💡 Explanation

Light bends near massive objects because spacetime curvature increases with gravity; *gravitational lensing* deflects the path. Therefore, the photon path is altered slightly, rather than significantly altered at high velocity or undergoing absorption.
