← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high mass distorts spacetime?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant light✓
B)Increased nuclear fission reaction rate
C)Increased Compton scattering frequency
D)Uniform cosmic microwave background shift
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light around massive objects; therefore light appears distorted and amplified rather than undergoing nuclear fission or scattering, which involve different mechanisms and conditions.
