While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Kumiko is a Japanese woodworking technique in which thin strips of wood are interlaced to create latticed panels that incorporate intricate patterns.
• These wooden strips are fit together without the use of nails or other fasteners.
• Many of the geometric patterns used in kumiko designs are inspired by elements from nature.
• The overlapping hexagons of the kikko pattern resemble a tortoise’s shell.
• The curved fan shapes of the seigaiha pattern resemble ocean waves.

The student wants to make and support a claim about the inspiration for kumiko patterns. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

The tortoiseshell-like overlapping hexagons of the kikko pattern are inspired by wooden strips from nature.

B

Often resembling elements from nature, kumiko patterns are formed by fitting thin strips of wood together without the use of nails.

C

The kumiko woodworking technique is used to create latticed panels with geometric designs, like overlapping hexagons, out of thin strips of wood.

D

Like the seigaiha pattern’s curved fan shapes, which resemble ocean waves, many of the geometric patterns used in kumiko designs are inspired by elements from nature.
