In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory

(a) the amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star

(b) the temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star

(c) the pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star

(d) the gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star.
