Which risk increases when a satellite transits behind a large-mass object?

A)Signal propagation delay accumulates drastically
B)Kinetic energy exceeds relativistic limits
C)Atomic clock synchronization fails catastrophically
D)Transistor thermal runaway cascades quickly

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation impacts signals that pass near massive objects; this increases the signal's travel time through curved space-time. Therefore, propagation delay grows substantially relative to flat space, because of the Shapiro delay, rather than energy limits or clock failures affecting signal timing.
