Which outcome occurs when stray capacitance forms between traces on high-speed digital circuit boards?

A)Signal distortion due to parasitic inductance
B)Ground loops creating differential mode noise
C)Increased power loss from dielectric heating
D)Crosstalk between adjacent signal paths

💡 Explanation

When stray capacitance forms, unintended capacitive coupling between traces occurs because of close proximity and the board's dielectric material, allowing signals to leak between adjacent lines. Therefore crosstalk results, rather than distortion, ground loops, or power loss, which involve inductive effects, grounding issues or excess current.
