Which phenomenon prevents detecting differences using only local observations according to Einstein's equivalence principle?

A)Gravitational acceleration mimics inertial effects
B)Quantum entanglement links distant particles
C)Electromagnetic fields distort spacetime
D)Relativistic speeds cause length contraction

💡 Explanation

Gravitational acceleration is locally indistinguishable, due to the equivalence principle, from uniform acceleration; therefore, observers cannot differentiate gravity from acceleration locally, because both induce the same inertial effects, rather than fields or purely relativistic effects.
