Which redshift emerges because spacetime exhibits curvature near a supermassive black hole?

A)Gravitational frequency shift
B)Cosmological photon damping
C)Doppler wavelength alteration
D)Electromagnetic field broadening

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift occurs due to the curvature of spacetime near massive objects, because photons lose energy escaping the gravitational potential; therefore, wavelengths increase near black holes, a ‘redder’ shift, rather than other spectral changes.
