How can I make the height of table rows become even, after I add the dividing line?

Question

Dear experienced friends, I met a question when I draw the table in LaTex. Suppose I want to draw a simple table as follows. We can see that the gaps between each line are evenly distributed. However, after I added the dividing line with \hline into the table, I found this dividing line is always closer to the row below.

May I ask is there any way that I can make the gap of rows evenly distributed again? To be more specific, I hope the heights between A->B,B->Dividing line,Dividing line->D,D->E become same. Can we achieve that?

Thank you so much in advance.

% Here is my code

\begin{table}[!htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{l | l | p{5cm}}
\hline
 Name & ID & Description \\
\hline 
 $\mathit{A}$ & 1 & This is A \\
 $\mathit{B}$ & 2 & This is B \\
\hline
 $\mathbf{D}$ & 4 & This is D\\
 $\mathbf{E}$ & 5 & This is E\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Answer 1

One possibility would be the booktabs package. One feature to know about, however, is that booktabs has strong opinions about how tables should look. One of those opinions is that you should never use vertical lines in a table. As such, vertical lines do not work well in tables with booktabs.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[!htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{l l p{5cm}}
\toprule
 Name & ID & Description \\
\midrule
 $\mathit{A}$ & 1 & This is A \\
 $\mathit{B}$ & 2 & This is B \\
\midrule
 $\mathbf{D}$ & 4 & This is D\\
 $\mathbf{E}$ & 5 & This is E\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
