Which mechanism causes increased orbital precession when celestial bodies pass closely?

A)Spacetime curvature near massive objects
B)Gravitational wave interference amplification
C)Tidal locking causing momentum transfer
D)Dark matter attracting nearby objects

💡 Explanation

Orbital precession increases when celestial bodies closely pass massive objects because spacetime curvature deviates from Newtonian gravity; therefore, bodies follow geodesics that don't close on themselves, rather than simple elliptical orbits predicted by Newtonian theory.
