The solution to the differential equation $$\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2} \cdot {\text{u}}}}{{{\text{d}}{{\text{x}}^2}}} - {\text{k}}\frac{{{\text{du}}}}{{{\text{dx}}}} = 0$$ is where k is constant, subjected to the boundary conditions u(0) = 0 and u(L) = U, is
A. $${\text{u}} = {\text{U}}\frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{L}}}$$
B. $${\text{u}} = {\text{U}}\left( {\frac{{1 - {{\text{e}}^{{\text{kx}}}}}}{{1 - {{\text{e}}^{{\text{kL}}}}}}} \right)$$
C. $${\text{u}} = {\text{U}}\left( {\frac{{1 - {{\text{e}}^{ - {\text{kx}}}}}}{{1 - {{\text{e}}^{ - {\text{kL}}}}}}} \right)$$
D. $${\text{u}} = {\text{U}}\left( {\frac{{1 + {{\text{e}}^{{\text{kx}}}}}}{{1 + {{\text{e}}^{{\text{kL}}}}}}} \right)$$
