← ScienceWhich signal degradation occurs when a wired communication channel's capacity exceeds its Shannon Limit?
A)Increased signal propagation time
B)Uncorrectable bit error rate✓
C)Elevated thermal noise floor
D)Reduced channel impedance matching
💡 Explanation
When channel capacity is exceeded, the **bit error rate** rises drastically because exceeding the Shannon Limit means reliable communication is impossible; therefore error correction fails catastrophically rather than slight propagation delays from signal distortion.
