Which outcome is most probable when a noisy communication channel's bandwidth is significantly increased, while the signal power remains constant?

💡 Explanation

The channel capacity increases with bandwidth according to the Shannon-Hartley theorem because it describes the theoretical maximum data rate. Increasing the bandwidth allows for more signal frequencies, therefore the channel capacity increases, rather than error rate increasing which would happen with increased interference and constant bandwidth.
