← ScienceWhich deviation arises when an extreme cosmic mass warps spacetime?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant galaxies✓
B)Increased thermal energy of interstellar gases
C)Decreased electromagnetic wave frequency
D)Reduced atomic decay rates in nebulae
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature near supermassive objects bends the path of photons. Light from distant galaxies is deflected, causing magnification or distortion; therefore, lensing is observed rather than increased temperature or decreased wavelengths without massive gravitational fields.
