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

The World Food Prize is awarded annually for contributions toward improving the world food supply.
Lucia Moreno is a Peruvian food scientist who was awarded the prize in 2018.
Moreno was awarded the prize with three researchers who worked alongside her.
Moreno’s group developed biofortified breeds of cassava plants.
Kwame Mensah is a Ghanaian economist who was awarded the prize in 2019.
He spearheaded economic initiatives promoting African agricultural infrastructure.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between Moreno and Mensah. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A Peruvian food scientist, Moreno won the World Food Prize in 2018; in 2019, however, the annual prize was awarded to a Ghanaian economist—Mensah.

Moreno won the World Food Prize in 2018 for her work with biofortified cassava plants, as did Mensah, a Ghanaian economist.

Moreno, a food scientist and World Food Prize winner, has made scientific advancements with cassava plants, while Mensah, an economist, has promoted African agricultural infrastructure.

Though one is a food scientist and the other an economist, Moreno and Mensah have both been recognized with World Food Prizes for contributions toward improving the world food supply.
