While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Fireplug is a 1940 black-and-white linocut print by Black American artist Samuel Joseph Brown.
• It depicts a tranquil, everyday scene (children playing in water).
• ¡Sera toda nuestra! ("It will all be ours!") is a 1977 color linocut print by Mexican American artist Carlos Cortéz.
• It features a scene with an explicitly political point of view (a group of laborers preparing to go on strike).
• Relief printing is a technique in which an image is carved onto a printing block, covered in ink or paint, and stamped onto paper.
• Lino cutting is a type of relief printing that uses linoleum tile as the printing block.
The student wants to contrast the subject matter of the two prints. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
The print by Cortéz is a color linocut; by contrast, Brown's is a relief print.
A
Brown made Fireplug in 1940, while Cortéz made ¡Sera toda nuestra! ("It will all be ours!") later, in 1977.

C
Cortéz's print expresses an explicitly political point of view, while Brown's depicts a tranquil, everyday scene.
