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

The Clovis First hypothesis proposes that ancient humans known as Clovis were the first to populate North America.
The Clovis arrived around 13,000 years ago.
Charred baskets found at the Meadowcroft site in Pennsylvania date to approximately 14,500 years ago.
Stone tools found at the Sand Creek site in Texas date to approximately 16,540 years ago.
These items support the idea that humans were present in North America before the Clovis population arrived.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the items found at Meadowcroft and those found at Sand Creek. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Charred baskets from Meadowcroft date to approximately 14,500 years ago; in addition, stone tools (which date to approximately 16,540 years ago) were discovered at Sand Creek.

Although the stone tools found at Sand Creek are older than the charred baskets found at Meadowcroft, both clearly predate the arrival of the Clovis population.

The Clovis First hypothesis proposes that the Clovis, arriving around 13,000 years ago, were the first humans in North America.

Objects discovered at Meadowcroft date to approximately 14,500 years ago; those found at Sand Creek precede them, however, dating to approximately 16,540 years ago.
