Which outcome results when parasitic capacitance bridges transmission lines?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflections and power loss occur because parasitic capacitance introduces unwanted admittance. This alters transmission characteristics, causing impedance mismatches and signal reflections, therefore energy is lost rather than propagating correctly down the line. Other options provide incorrect behaviour under these conditions.
