Which of the following techniques is effective to detect taps in fiber optic cables?
The correct answer is A. Taking baseline signal level of the cable. Fiber optic cables are a type of transmission media that use light signals to transmit data. One of the techniques that can be used to detect taps in fiber optic cables is to take a baseline signal level of the cable and compare it with the current signal level. If there is a sig

Explanation
Fiber optic cables are a type of transmission media that use light signals to transmit data. One of the techniques that can be used to detect taps in fiber optic cables is to take a baseline signal level of the cable and compare it with the current signal level. If there is a significant drop in the signal level, it may indicate that the cable has been tapped or compromised. Measuring signal through external oscillator solution devices, outlining electromagnetic field strength, or performing network vulnerability scanning are not effective techniques to detect taps in fiber optic cables.
