- AOnly when you are operating within crowded band conditions
- BDeliberate interference is never acceptable
- COnly if the station is operating illegally
- DOnly if the station begins transmitting on a frequency you are using
Correct answer: B — Deliberate interference is never acceptable. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Deliberate interference is never acceptable because the rules require every operator to share the airwaves fairly and avoid causing harm to others' communications, regardless of how crowded the band is or who is transmitting. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
