unaffected.
less gravitationally lensed.
more gravitationally lensed.
Brief Explanations
Dark matter has mass and creates gravitational fields. More dark matter means a stronger gravitational field. Gravitational lensing is the bending of light due to gravity. So, more dark matter would lead to more gravitational lensing of the quasar's light.
