Solution

The correct option is D

High bandwidth, high data transmission capacity and no EM interference


Explanation for the correct option:

In the case of option D,

  1. Fiber-optic bandwidth is high because it transmits data using light rather than electricity which allows much faster Internet connections that can handle higher bandwidth.
  2. Fiber-optic cables provide a high data transmission capacity because the data is transmitted by fast-traveling pulses of light. The second layer of glass known as "cladding," is stretched around the central fiber which causes light to bounce off the cable's walls rather than seep out at the periphery, allowing the transmission to travel further without attenuation.
  3. Fiber optic cables are made of non-metallic materials. They use light pulses in glass threads to send signals. As a result, they are unaffected by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. In other words, electrical noise in the environment has no effect on signal integrity.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

In case of option A,

  1. The fiber optic has high bandwidth but it has no EM interference because it is made up of non-metallic substances that transmit data using light wave technology.
  2. And the light wave technology is not affected by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

In case of option B,

  1. The fiber optic doesn't have low bandwidth. Instead, its bandwidth is high because of its high transmission rate which can handle high bandwidth.

In case of option C,

  1. The transmission rate of fiber optical is not low. Instead, it is very high because it uses advanced light wave technology for data transmission that transmits data at the speed of light.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
