Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attenuation is the loss of signal strength as it travels over a distance. Choice A describes a situation where a customer modem is continuously losing signal due to a large distance from the transmitting device, which is a clear example of attenuation. Choice B describes interference from a powerful radio transmitter, not attenuation. Choice C describes intermittent delay, which could be caused by a variety of factors, not just attenuation. Choice D describes crosstalk, not attenuation.
