Which risk increases when a satellite's orbit introduces strong spacetime curvature?

💡 Explanation

Clock drift becomes significant in strong gravitational fields because spacetime curvature causes time dilation; therefore, proper time varies locally, leading to desynchronization, rather than the materials aging or mechanical failures, which are functions of other variables.
