Solution

The correct option is A time dilation
In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.
The time as measured by a relatively moving observer is slower than that compared by that on rest.
