Which bottleneck arises when wavelength-division multiplexing fiber degrades?

A)Signal propagation delays increase linearly
B)Channel crosstalk increases nonlinearly
C)Bit error rate remains constant
D)Laser power consumption decreases exponentially

💡 Explanation

Channel crosstalk increases nonlinearly because fiber degradation affects the refractive index profile, weakening spectral separation via **intermodal dispersion**; therefore increasing signal interference rather than predictable delay, because crosstalk is a secondary effect of material inhomogeneity.
