Which mechanism causes gravitational redshift observed from white dwarfs?

A)Spacetime curvature near the compact object
B)Doppler shift from stellar rotation
C)Atmospheric absorption from stellar winds
D)Quantum entanglement with observed photons

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift occurs because spacetime curvature near a white dwarf causes photons to lose energy as they escape the strong gravitational field; therefore, their wavelengths increase. This redshift, rather than Doppler shift or absorption, is due to gravity.
