In the double-slit experiment with light, each photon impact occurs within an overall two-slit interference pattern. Thus, each photon "knows" that both slits (rather than only one) are open. This behavior is known as

A) quantum interference. B) quantum reality. C) quantum tunneling. D) quantum nonlocality. E) quantum randomness.
