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

• Generally, an object will heat up when twisted.
• The twisting of an object is known as torsion.
• A 2019 study led by researchers Zunfeng Liu and Ray Baughman tested the torsional heating of various fibers.
• When dimethicone fiber was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by $1.8^{\circ }C.$
• When natural rubber fiber was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by $15.3^{\circ }C$

Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to explain the concept of torsional heating?

A

Researchers determined that when both fibers were twisted, the surface temperature of natural rubber increased more than that of dimethicone.

B

Torsional heating is the process by which an object increases in temperature when it is twisted.

C

An object’s average surface temperature will generally change due to torsion.

D

In 2019, researchers studied the effect of torsional heating on various fibers, like dimethicone and natural rubber.
