B Correct answer
Explanation

Fiber optic cables transmit data as pulses of light through glass or plastic strands. Because they do not use metal wires, they do not conduct electricity and are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), unlike copper-based cables like coaxial or twisted pair.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the properties of fiber optic cables.

Fiber optic cables are made of glass or plastic and are designed to transmit light signals, not electrical signals. They work on the principle of Total Internal Reflection, where light signals are bounced off the walls of the cable to travel long distances without significant loss of signal strength.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) False. Fiber optic cables do not conduct electricity.
