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

Physicist Lise Meitner was a key collaborator with chemist Otto Hahn in Berlin for over three decades.
In 1938, forced to flee Nazi Germany due to her Jewish heritage, Meitner relocated to Stockholm, Sweden.
In December 1938, Hahn observed unexpected barium when bombarding uranium with neutrons but could not explain the result.
Working in Sweden with her nephew Otto Frisch, Meitner calculated the energy released and provided the first theoretical explanation for nuclear fission in 1939.
In 1944, Otto Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery, while Meitner’s indispensable theoretical contribution was overlooked by the committee.

The student wants to contextualize Lise Meitner’s theoretical breakthrough in nuclear fission. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Although Otto Hahn observed barium during neutron experiments in 1938, he won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of nuclear fission.

After collaborating with Otto Hahn in Berlin for three decades, physicist Lise Meitner was forced to flee Germany for Sweden in 1938.

While in exile in Sweden in 1939, Meitner provided the crucial theoretical explanation and energy calculations for the unexplained nuclear fission observations reported by Hahn.

Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch conducted research in Stockholm, Sweden, after Meitner left Berlin in 1938.
