Which mechanism causes gravitational lensing around supermassive black holes?

💡 Explanation

Near black holes, spacetime curvature deflects photons following geodesics; this gravitational lensing occurs because strong gravity alters light paths rather than absorption or Doppler effects which require different physical conditions.
