Which outcome results in GPS satellites when spacetime curvature is neglected?

A)Clock drift causes position errors
B)Signal reflections overwhelm receivers
C)Solar panels become less efficient
D)Antenna alignment gradually degrades

💡 Explanation

Clock drift causes position errors to appear in GPS calculations due to neglecting relativistic effects. Therefore, corrected frequencies are needed, because ignoring time dilation due to gravitational potential gradients leads to accumulated error; rather than signal reflections or antenna issues.
