Which risk increases when a fiber optic signal experiences significant material dispersion after long distances?

A)Reduced signal-to-noise ratio
B)Increased chromatic distortion
C)Elevated cross-phase modulation
D)Enhanced four wave mixing

💡 Explanation

Increased dispersion broadens optical pulses as they travel; the mechanism is *chromatic dispersion*. This causes pulse overlap because different wavelengths travel at different speeds, therefore increasing chromatic distortion rather than improving signal integrity.
