Which effect increases when an X-ray passes near a neutron star?

A)Gravitational lensing
B)Compton scattering
C)Photoelectric absorption
D)Pair production threshold

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing increases because spacetime curvature near the neutron star bends the path of the X-ray via gravitational deflection. Therefore, the path is altered considerably, rather than causing alterations via direct interactions like Compton scattering.
