Which risk increases during quantum key distribution when eavesdropping introduces decoherence via entanglement?

A)Increased computational post-processing demands
B)Compromised key with detectable errors
C)Signal amplification vulnerability increases
D)Polarization drift leads to decryption

💡 Explanation

Eavesdropping attempts introduce errors because measurement by the eavesdropper enforces state decoherence on entangled photons transmitted between endpoints; therefore key is compromised rather than remaining secure, because errors are introduced that affect key indistinguishability.
