In digital signal processing, what does the term "aliasing" refer to?

A) Loss of signal power

B) The distortion of a signal due to inadequate sampling

C) The effect of noise on a signal

D) The increase of bandwidth of a signal

Answer: B) The distortion of a signal due to inadequate sampling

Explanation: Aliasing occurs when a signal is sampled at a rate that is insufficient to capture its frequency content, leading to different signals becoming indistinguishable from each other. This can result in misleading information about the original signal.
