A) Einstein's theory of gravitation agrees with Newton's theory in the weak gravity limit, where gravitational fields are weak and velocities are far below the speed of light. The predictions of Newton's theory for phenomena such as planetary motion and falling objects on Earth are included in Einstein's theory.

B) Einstein's theory of gravitation has been tested and supported by a variety of experimental tests, including the gravitational redshift, the deflection of light by massive objects, and the precession of the planet Mercury.

C) Newton's theory can be derived as a special case of Einstein's theory in the weak gravity limit, as mentioned above.

D) Einstein's theory predicts effects that are not present in Newton's theory, such as the gravitational lensing of light by massive objects and the existence of black holes. In situations where spacetime is strongly curved, such as near black holes, Einstein's theory is superior to Newton's.

Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
