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.
• Zeleny Gai is an impact crater in Ukraine.
• Researchers have determined that it was formed around 80 million years ago.
• The crater has a diameter of approximately 3.5 km.

Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to emphasize the size of the crater?

A

When a large object struck what is now Ukraine around 80 million years ago, it created Zeleny Gai, a massive crater measuring 3.5 km in diameter.

B

Long ago, a crater now known as Zeleny Gai was created when a large object collided with Earth.

C

Researchers have investigated the formation of Zeleny Gai, an ancient impact crater measuring 3.5 km in diameter located in Ukraine.

D

Impact craters, like Zeleny Gai in Ukraine, are formed when a massive object collides with Earth, creating depressions in the land.
