Which effect on GPS satellite operations results when spacetime curvature variations are uncorrected?

A)Navigation positional accuracy degrades over time
B)Signal reflections creates ghost signals
C)Atomic clock oscillations become destabilized
D)Antenna alignment drifts from scheduled locations

💡 Explanation

Positional errors increase because ignoring general relativity's effect of spacetime curvature on time, causes the satellite clocks' to drift at different rates. Therefore, inaccurate distances are calculated, rather than reflection issues or direct clock malfunctions under uniform fields.
