Which describes why digital signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals? Multiple choice question. Noise builds up on digital signals only when the signals travel long distances. Noise is easily filtered out without damage to the original signal because only one of two values is expected. Noise is easily filtered out without damage to the original signal because a narrow range of values is expected. Noise does not build up on digital signals when they are transmitted, unlike analog signals.
