Explanation
B (False) is correct because financial data center interconnection is highly sensitive to transmission delay - even microseconds matter in high-frequency trading, real-time settlement, and market data synchronization, where latency differences directly translate to competitive advantage or financial loss.
A (True) is wrong because it implies delay is irrelevant, which contradicts the reality of modern financial systems where firms invest heavily in co-location, fiber optimization, and even microwave/laser links specifically to minimize propagation delay between exchanges and data centers.
Memory tip: Think of high-frequency trading firms paying millions to shave off nanoseconds - if delay didn't matter in finance, that investment would be irrational. "Finance = fast" keeps this straight on exam day.
