← ScienceWhich mechanism distorts spacetime around black hole event horizons?
A)Gravitational lensing and mass concentration✓
B)Hawking radiation erodes event horizon
C)Relativistic beaming intensifies outgoing light
D)Frame-dragging twists nearby rotating bodies
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because mass concentration intensely curves spacetime near a black hole. A photon's path bends; therefore, strong lensing effects are detected, rather than Hawking radiation or frame-dragging alterations, as those have distinct detectable signatures
