Which risk increases when GPS satellites transmit with relativistic compensation disabled?

A)Clock drift causes navigation errors
B)Signal attenuation degrades data transfer
C)Solar flares disrupt receiver accuracy
D)Atmospheric refraction distorts path lengths

💡 Explanation

Clock drift becomes significant because time dilation affects satellite clocks differently than ground clocks due to relative velocities and gravitational curvature. Therefore, navigation errors will grow, rather than other unrelated effects because compensation is necessary for operational systems.
