What is the main advantage of Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)?

AIt allows multiple signals to be sent simultaneously on different frequencies

BIt sends signals one after another in time slots

CIt uses unique codes to separate signals

DIt combines signals using different light wavelengths

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify FDM's working principle
FDM sends multiple signals at the same time but on different frequency bands.
Step 2: Differentiate from other multiplexing methods
TDM uses time slots, CDM uses codes, and WDM uses light wavelengths, so these are not FDM advantages.
Final Answer:
It allows multiple signals to be sent simultaneously on different frequencies -> Option A
Quick Check:
Simultaneous signals on frequencies = FDM [OK]

Quick Trick: Frequencies separate signals in FDM [OK]
