Which timing error results from spacetime curvature near GPS satellites?

A)Gravitational time dilation increases.
B)Signal reflection introduces noise.
C)Relativistic length contraction shrinks orbits.
D)Atmospheric drag slows orbital velocity.

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation alters clock rates because the spacetime curvature near massive objects causes time to pass slower relative to locations further away; therefore GPS satellites experience time dilation, rather than atmospheric drag or signal noise.
