Which mechanism affects an AM radio receiver's ability to demodulate correctly when multipath propagation occurs?

💡 Explanation

Multipath propagation results in frequency selective fading because constructive and destructive interference varies across the signal bandwidth; therefore some frequencies diminish, corrupting demodulation, rather than amplitude decrease alone or increased noise affecting all frequencies.
