Which risk increases when imperfections limit a fibre optic cable's total internal reflection?

A)Signal attenuation becomes significantly pronounced
B)Refractive index reaches critical threshold
C)Modal dispersion remains relatively linear
D)Numerical aperture stays virtually constant

💡 Explanation

Increased imperfections cause scattering via Rayleigh scattering, a form of wave propagation, because they reduce the efficiency total internal reflection, therefore signal attenuation increases rather than signal integrity which would occur with uniform material.
