The addition of velocities formula restricts the values of certain velocities due to all of the following EXCEPT:

A. The curvature of spacetime consistent with inertial frames.
B. Lorentz transformations.
C. The speed of light in a vacuum is the same to all observers.
D. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames.


Einstein's general theory of relativity talks about curvature of spacetime and accelerating frames. The addition of velocities formula deals with the special theory of relativity.
