Explanation
Huawei, Ciena, and Nokia are all established global optical networking vendors with proven 96-wavelength DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) product portfolios - Huawei with its OptiX OSN series, Ciena with its GeoMesh/WaveLogic platforms, and Nokia (leveraging its Alcatel-Lucent heritage) with its 1830 PSS line. These three companies are widely recognized in the industry as vendors that have commercially deployed 96-channel DWDM systems at scale.
ZTE (D) is the distractor. While ZTE manufactures optical transport equipment and competes in the WDM market, it is not recognized at the same tier as A, B, and C for 96-wavelength solutions in this context - likely because its high-channel-count deployments have not achieved the same global commercial footprint or industry validation in this specific capability.
Memory tip: Think of the "Big Three of 96λ" as the two Western optical specialists (Ciena, Nokia) plus the dominant Chinese vendor (Huawei) - ZTE is China's other major telecom OEM, but in this question it's the odd one out. If you remember "C-N-H" (Ciena, Nokia, Huawei), you won't confuse ZTE for a 96-wavelength player.
