← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes path deviation exhibited as gravitational lensing in a strong gravitational field?
A)Spacetime curvature by massive object✓
B)Quantum vacuum energy polarization
C)Relativistic Doppler effect shifts
D)Hawking radiation particle pair separation
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of photons. A massive object distorts spacetime geometry; therefore light follows this curve, rather than traveling in a straight line as it would through flat spacetime.
