The ballast regulates the current flowing through the lamp, ensuring proper and efficient operation. The other options are incorrect because: A) Magnetic resonators are not used in fluorescent lighting fixtures. B) Magnetrons are microwave oven components, not used in fluorescent lighting. C) Lasers are not used in standard fluorescent lighting fixtures.
