Which effect is exaggerated near black hole event horizons because of intense gravitationally induced spacetime distortion?

A)Gravitational redshift of emitted light
B)Increased speed of radioactive decay
C)Blue shift of infalling matter
D)Hawking radiation energy reduction

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift increases because increasingly strong gravitational fields cause spacetime distortion. Specifically, the extreme bending of spacetime causes the observed wavelength to increase; therefore, light appears more redshifted as it attempts to escape the gravity well, rather than other quantum phenomena.
