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

• The A.M. Turing Award is a prestigious award given for “major contributions of lasting importance to computing.”
• Manuel Blum won the award in 1995 for contributions to the foundations of computational complexity theory.
• Raj Reddy won the award in 1994 for pioneering the development of large-scale artificial intelligence systems.

The student wants to emphasize the order in which Manuel Blum and Raj Reddy won the A.M. Turing Award. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

Manuel Blum and Raj Reddy both won the A.M. Turing Award, which is given for “major contributions of lasting importance to computing.”

B

Raj Reddy won the A.M. Turing Award in 1994; Manuel Blum won it later, in 1995.

C

In 1995, Manuel Blum won the A.M. Turing Award for contributions to the foundations of computational complexity theory.

D

It was in 1994 that Raj Reddy won the A.M. Turing Award.
