Expert Solution
Step 1

6.a. 

An optical spectrum analyzer(OSA) is an instrument that is used for the measurement of the signal power for the given span of the wavelength. The power is displayed on the vertical scale of the OSA while the wavelength is displayed on the horizontal. The measurements performed by the OSA are: 

Signal power
The central wavelength of the signal
Optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR)

Thus the correct option will be "D. Signal power and spectral width of a channel and center wavelength of a signal"
