← ScienceWhich limitation on the GPS system occurs as signal errors increase due to navigation satellites experiencing changes within gravitational fields?
A)Clock drift becomes more accentuated✓
B)Hardware faults propagate more quickly
C)Computational strain intensifies noticeably
D)Signal absorption through higher layers
💡 Explanation
The GPS accuracy degrades because general relativity predicts gravitational fields affect time; therefore, the **gravitational time dilation** accumulates errors between satellite and receiver clocks, rather than other sources of system processing faults because the satellite's altitude relative to the Earth matters.
