Which risk increases when attempting tighter bending radii for single-mode optical fiber?

💡 Explanation

Tight bending enhances light leakage from the core; this macrobending loss increases insertion loss because the optical confinement mechanism weakens; therefore option C, enhanced losses, not alternatives related signal properties resulting outside critical angle failure.
