Noise can cause which of the following outcomes?

Noise can significantly impact various systems and their performance, leading to both overheating components and distorted video displays. In electronic circuits, noise—often considered as unwanted signals—can interfere with the normal operation of components. This interference can cause components to heat up excessively as they struggle to filter out the noise, leading to an overheating scenario.

On the other hand, in systems that involve video signals, such as displays and television sets, noise can distort the quality of the video output. This distortion could manifest as visual artifacts, loss of clarity, or an overall degraded image performance. Since both outcomes are directly affected by noise, the selection that includes both overheating components and distorted video displays accurately represents the consequences of noise in a distributed generation or electronic context.
