How are fiber optic cables and traditional metal-based wires similar and different?(1 point)
Both fiber optic and metal are used to transmit signals across long distances. However, metal cables use light to carry signals making them much faster and higher quality.
Both fiber optic and metal cables transmit the same quality signal. However, fiber optic cables use light to transmit the data, whereas metal cables do not.

The correct choice is the second one.
Reason: Both types carry signals, but fiber optic cables use light (optical signals) while metal cables use electrical signals. In practice fiber usually offers higher bandwidth, lower loss over long distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while metal (copper) is cheaper and easier to work with.
