B)the average waiting time will be doubled.
C)the average queue length will be doubled.
D)There is not enough information to know what will happen to the queue length and waiting time.

When service times are constant (deterministic) rather than variable (exponential), the system becomes more predictable and efficient, leading to a reduction in the average queue length. This is because variability in service times is a major contributor to queue length and waiting times in queuing systems.
