Which mechanism causes increased signal latency across transatlantic subsea fiber cables?

A)Chromatic dispersion causes pulse broadening
B)Electromagnetic interference causes signal corruption
C)Increased temperature raises waveguide impedance
D)Cable aging increases signal attenuation

💡 Explanation

Chromatic dispersion causes varying wavelengths to travel differing speeds across the fiber, causing pulse broadening; therefore latency increases because signals become less distinct, rather than EMI or other temperature-related effects.
