  • CA signal is amplified linearly
  • DQuantization levels become infinite

Correct Answer: A. Different frequency components become indistinguishable after inadequate sampling
Explanation: Sampling below the required rate can cause spectral replicas to overlap, making different analog frequencies appear identical in the sampled data.
Reference: Standard communication systems: sampling
