DIVX stands for Digital Video Express. It was a digital video format developed by Circuit City for rental DVDs. Option B is correct - 'Express' is the right term. 'Entity' (A) is too vague, while 'Data Visual' (C) and 'Voice' (D) are incorrect expansions.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), built by CERN, is often nicknamed the "Atom Smasher" in popular media.
