How does the gravity of an object affect light?

A) Light doesn't have mass; therefore, it is not affected by gravity.
B) Light coming from a compact massive object, such as a neutron star, will be redshifted.
C) Light coming from a compact massive object, such as a neutron star, will be blueshifted.
D) Visible light coming from a compact massive object, such as a neutron star, will be redshifted, but higher frequencies such as X-rays and gamma rays will not be affected.
E) Less energetic light will not be able to escape from a compact massive object, such as a neutron star, but more energetic light will be able to.
