While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Impact craters occur when a large object collides with Earth at high speeds.
  • Examples of such objects include comets and meteorites.
  • Newporte is an impact crater in the United States.
  • Researchers have determined that it was formed less than 500 million years ago.
  • The crater has a diameter of approximately 3.2 km.
Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to emphasize the size of the crater?
A
Long ago, a crater now known as Newporte was created when a large object collided with Earth.
B
Impact craters, like Newporte in the United States, are formed when a massive object collides with Earth.
C
Researchers have investigated the formation of Newporte, an ancient impact crater measuring 3.2 km in diameter located in the United States.
D
When a large object struck what is now the United States less than 500 million years ago, it created Newporte, a massive crater measuring 3.2 km in diameter.
