The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Waveguides support different modes of propagation.

Step 1: Mode types TE (Transverse Electric) and TM (Transverse Magnetic).

Step 2: Dominant mode definition Mode with lowest cutoff frequency.

Step 3: Rectangular waveguide Lowest cutoff frequency corresponds to TE\(_{10}\).

Step 4: Reason TE\(_{10}\) has simplest field distribution.

Step 5: Conclusion \[ \boxed{TE_{10}} \]

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(B)} \]
