Explanation

HP ColorLaserJets use a laser imaging system - the name itself is the giveaway, as "LaserJet" directly references laser technology, which works by using a laser beam to electrostatically charge a drum, attracting toner powder that is then fused onto the paper with heat. Option A (LED) is used in a competing printer technology where an LED array replaces the laser; while similar in principle, it's a distinct system not used in HP's LaserJet line. Option C (Ink) describes inkjet printers, which spray liquid ink droplets - a fundamentally different technology from laser printing. Option D (Solid ink) is a technology associated with Xerox printers, which melt crayon-like wax sticks onto a drum before transferring to paper.

Memory tip: When you see "LaserJet" in the product name, the answer is always laser - HP literally named the product after its imaging technology.
