Which statement describes the effects of acceleration in space, based on the general theory of relativity?

Einstein’s equivalence principle says that, in a small region, the effects of acceleration are indistinguishable from the effects of a gravitational field. For example, an accelerating spacecraft can make objects appear to be pulled toward its floor, just as gravity does. So the correct statement is that acceleration in space has the same effects as a gravitational field.
