Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Only (ii)
Statement (i) is TRUE: fibre optics use light signals and generally provide faster, higher-bandwidth transmission than copper wires.
Statement (ii) is FALSE: shielded twisted pair is still a physical copper medium and suffers attenuation over distance.
Shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference, but it does not remove attenuation.
