Answer very this excerpt from "why are they called black holes? "

the gravity of a black hole will swallow matter and light that drift close enough to it. some light passing by a black hole can be far enough away that it could avoid being sucked in, but the path of the light would still be bent by gravity.

which statement best describes the relationship between the bending of a ray of light and a black hole?

when light disappears, it causes a black hole to come into existence.
a ray of light has gravity that will cause a black hole to move toward it.
gravity from a black hole will pull a ray of light and cause its path to change.
a black hole’s gravity can cause a ray of light to gain gravity and attract objects.

Option (3)

Explanation:

A Black hole is a region in the space that has a strong gravitational force. It can pull every object that passes through it. Light when propagates near the black hole, it gets deviated and gets consumed by it. This bending of light is due to the process called gravitational lensing. It is a process by which the lights coming from the source to an observer undergoes bending due to the force of gravitation.

Thus, the lights undergo bending when pulled by the black hole's gravity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
