The following text is from Jane Austen’s 1811 novel Sense and Sensibility.
Elinor lives with her younger sisters and her mother, Mrs. Dashwood. Elinor, this eldest daughter, whose advice was so effectual, possessed a strength of understanding, and coolness of judgment, which qualified her, though only nineteen, to be the counsellor of her mother, and enabled her frequently to counteract, to the advantage of them all, that eagerness of mind in Mrs. Dashwood which must generally have led to imprudence. She had an excellent heart;—her disposition was affectionate, and her feelings were strong; but she knew how to govern them: it was a knowledge which her mother had yet to learn; and which one of her sisters had resolved never to be taught.

In superfluorescence, electrical charges known as dipoles emit light in synchronized bursts so intense that they are visible to the eye. Until recently, this phenomenon has only been observed at extremely cold temperatures because dipoles cannot synchronize at higher temperatures. But in a study, Melike Biliroglu and colleagues observed superfluorescence at room temperature in thin films made of perovskite and other similarly crystalline materials; the researchers propose that the formation of shock-absorbing quasiparticles called polarons in the material protects dipoles from thermal interference.
Based on the text, how are polarons believed to be involved in the superfluorescence observed in Biliroglu and colleagues’ study?
A. Polarons enable superfluorescent bursts to cross from one crystalline material to another.
B. Polarons allow for the dipoles to synchronize despite higher temperatures.
C. Polarons accelerate the dipoles’ release of superfluorescent bursts.
D. Polarons decrease the intensity of the superfluorescent burst.
B. Polarons allow for the dipoles to synchronize despite higher temperatures.
