Optical fibers are the best medium of transmission over copper wires, because

A

The loss of data in optical fibers is very-very high

B

optical fiber is cheap and easy to construct

C

The optical fibers are made of glass and they are automatically isolated from the current

D

The optical fibers can take few number of telephonic message at a time.

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks why optical fibers are considered a better medium for transmission compared to copper wires. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Claims that the loss of data in optical fibers is very high. This is incorrect because optical fibers are known for low data loss. - **Option B**: States that optical fibers are cheap. This is also incorrect; optical fibers are generally more expensive to manufacture and install compared to copper wires. - **Option C**: States that optical fibers are made of glass and are insulated from current. This is true. Glass is a good insulator, which prevents electrical interference. - **Option D**: Claims that optical fibers can take only a few telephonic messages at a time. This is false; optical fibers can carry a large number of signals simultaneously due to their high bandwidth. 3. **Conclusion**: The best reason why optical fibers are superior to copper wires is given in Option C, which highlights their material properties and insulation from electrical interference. 4. **Final Answer**: Optical fibers are the best medium of transmission over copper wires because they are made of glass, which is a good insulator and allows for total internal reflection, minimizing data loss and allowing for high bandwidth. ---
