In a monitored network, what is likely to occur when identifying micro-reflections?

Identifying micro-reflections in a monitored network is crucial because these reflections can significantly interfere with the transmitted signals. When a signal encounters a surface or interface that causes it to bounce back, it can create interference patterns that lead to signal degradation. This degradation affects the quality of the communication, resulting in issues such as reduced clarity and increased error rates in data transmission. Understanding and identifying these micro-reflections allows network engineers to take corrective measures to improve signal integrity, making the selection of signal degradation affecting quality the most appropriate response.

While increased bandwidth usage, improvements in overall signal strength, and reductions in latency could be desirable outcomes in different contexts, they do not accurately describe the direct consequence of identifying micro-reflections. Instead, the focus should be on the adverse effects that these reflections introduce into the network's performance.
