← ScienceWhich mechanism causes gravitational lensing, resulting in distorted images?
A)Spacetime curvature by massive objects✓
B)Quantum entanglement of photons
C)Doppler shift of light wavelengths
D)Refractive index variations in space
💡 Explanation
A massive object causes spacetime curvature, therefore light paths bend because of this altered geometry, leading to image distortion rather than simple refraction or Doppler shifts.
