Explanation

Configuring ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) sites is True (A) because ROADMs are specifically designed to enable remote, software-driven reconfiguration of wavelength routing across multiple optical directions - eliminating the need for technicians to physically reconnect fibers at a site. Multi-dimensional ROADMs (often described as CDC - Colorless, Directionless, Contentionless) extend this capability further, allowing any wavelength to be assigned to any port, in any direction, without spatial conflicts or manual intervention. This makes dynamic, on-demand wavelength-level service scheduling across a network possible entirely through software control.

Option B is wrong because it contradicts the fundamental purpose of ROADM technology - manual fiber jumping is precisely the legacy approach that ROADMs replace.

Memory tip: Break down the acronym - the "R" in ROADM stands for Reconfigurable, which means the optical path can be changed remotely and dynamically. If you remember "Reconfigurable = no manual jumping," you'll always get this right.
