Choose the best answer. Background correction for atomic spectroscopy is important, because: A. It distinguishes analyte signal from the sample matrix. B. It removes the background signals from absorption, emission, or scatter by the atomizer. C. It minimizes errors caused by the background. D. It helps pick out the strongest signals from the analyte. E. It is only critical for graphite furnaces; it is not necessary for flame and plasma.
