Which effect on navigation occurs because of gravitational equivalence?

A)Clock rate shifts require compensation
B)Doppler shift nullifies altitude correction
C)Sagnac effect minimizes satellite drift
D)Relativistic beaming enhances signal focusing

💡 Explanation

Gravitational equivalence affects clock rates and therefore precise navigation. As altitude increases, gravitational time dilation shifts clock rates; satellite systems must compensate for this, because general relativity predicts the effect, rather than assuming other alternatives affecting synchronization.
