Final answer:

The Bohr model of the atom explains the difference in the spectra of different elements, stable atoms, and the specific emission and absorption spectra, making all the provided options correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bohr model of the atom explains A) Difference in the spectra of different elements, B) Stable atoms, C) Emission spectra, and D) Absorption spectra. Therefore, E) All of these are correct.

According to the Bohr model, electrons in an atom can only have certain, allowable energies. This concept naturally explains why atoms absorb or emit only specific energies or wavelengths of light, forming characteristic spectral lines.

Bohr's model accurately predicts the emission spectra of hydrogen and is also a fundamental concept in understanding the atomic spectra of other elements. However, it was only successful in explaining the spectra of atoms with simple structures like hydrogen and did not fully account for atoms with more electrons.
