Explanation
Active Optical Cables support a maximum distance of 50 meters (option B), which is one of their key advantages over passive copper cables that typically max out at 7–15 meters. Option A (7 meters) and option C (15 meters) describe typical limits for passive copper alternatives (like standard HDMI or USB cables), not AOC. Option D (30 meters) is a plausible-sounding middle ground but doesn't correspond to a recognized AOC specification.
Memory tip: Think "AOC = 50" - the "A" in AOC stands for Active, and active technology lets the signal travel much farther than passive copper. If you remember that AOC is the longest option among common cable types in this range, you can eliminate the shorter distances by elimination.
