Which effect occurs on clocks embedded within a GPS satellite when gravity's time dilation becomes significant?

A)Clock synchronisation becomes increasingly challenging
B)Atomic decay rates reach stability
C)Calculations provide constant values
D)Signal latency becomes measurably uniform

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation directly affects clocks in stronger gravitational fields because differences in spacetime curvature cause them to tick slower, therefore synchronization with ground stations is complex rather than clock rates normalizing across altitudes.
