What mechanism is believed to be responsible for maintaining the narrowness of the jets emanating from the nuclei of active galaxies?

(a)   The material in the jet is focused by passing through other material that is still falling in toward the nucleus.
(b)   The material in the jet is ionized and is focused by the magnetic fields around the nucleus.
(c)   The powerful gravitational field of the supermassive black hole in the nucleus pulls the material into a narrow jet.
