Which challenge arises when deploying fiber optic communication underwater?

A)Polarization mode dispersion increases drastically.
B)Chromatic aberrations become extremely pronounced.
C)Signal attenuation decreases significantly.
D)Modal interference becomes less problematic.

💡 Explanation

Underwater fiber experiences increased stress and bending, leading to birefringence. Because of this stress, polarization mode dispersion increases due to differential delays between polarization states; therefore causing signal degradation, rather than reduced attenuation.
