Read the following case/passage and answer the questions from 41 to 45:
Electromagnetic radiation is a natural phenomenon found in almost all areas of daily life, from radio waves to sunlight to X-rays. Laser radiation - like all light - is also a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between 380 nm and 780 nm is visible to the human eye and is commonly referred to as light. At wavelengths longer than 780 nm, optical radiation is termed infrared (IR) and is invisible to the eye. At wavelengths shorter than 380 nm, optical radiation is termed ultraviolet (UV) and is also invisible to the eye. The term “laser light" refers to a much broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum than just the visible spectrum, anything between 150 nm up to 11000 nm (i.e. from the UV up to the far IR). The term laser is an acronym that stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”.
Einstein explained the stimulated emission. In an atom, an electron may move to a higher energy level by absorbing a photon. When the electron comes back to the lower energy level it releases the same photon. This is called spontaneous emission. This may also so happen that the excited electron absorbs another photon, releases two photons, and returns to the lower energy state. This is known as stimulated emission.Laser emission is therefore a light emission whose energy is used, in lithotripsy, for targeting and ablating the stone inside the human body organ.
Apart from medical usage, the laser is used for the optical disk drive, printer, barcode reader, etc.
What is the full form of LASER?

A

Light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation

B

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

C

Light amplification by simultaneous emission of radiation

D

Light amplified by synchronous emission of radiation
