A function n(x) satisfies the differential equation $$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}{\text{n}}\left( {\text{x}} \right)}}{{{\text{d}}{{\text{x}}^2}}} - \frac{{{\text{n}}\left( {\text{x}} \right)}}{{{{\text{L}}^2}}} = 0$$    where L is a constant. The boundary conditions are: n(0) = K and n($$\infty $$) = 0. The solution to this equation is

A. n(x) = K exp(x/L)

B. n(x)= K exp(-x/√L)

C. n(x) = K2 exp(-x/L)

D. n(x) = K exp(-x/L)
