Which of the following describes the process laser printers use to secure toner to paper?
The correct answer is D. Fusing. In laser printing, the fusing stage uses heat and pressure to permanently bond toner particles to paper. The other terms describe different steps or unrelated processes.

Why each option
In laser printing, the fusing stage uses heat and pressure to permanently bond toner particles to paper. The other terms describe different steps or unrelated processes.
Bonding is not a recognized stage in the laser printing process; the correct technical term for permanently attaching toner to paper is fusing.
Transferring is the stage where charged toner is moved from the photosensitive drum onto the paper, which occurs before fusing.
Duplexing refers to printing on both sides of a page and is entirely unrelated to toner adhesion.
Fusing is the final stage of the laser print process where a fuser assembly applies heat (around 200 degrees Celsius) and pressure rollers to melt the thermoplastic toner powder and permanently bond it to the paper fibers.
