← ScienceWhich mechanism causes the distortion of galaxy cluster images?
A)Gravitational lensing alters spacetime geometry✓
B)Doppler shift amplifies galactic recession
C)Electromagnetic interference obscures spectra
D)Baryonic matter absorbs photons selectively
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because massive objects warp spacetime, altering paths of light; therefore the image is distorted, rather than by simple spectral shifts or matter absorption, which only affect intensity or wavelength.
