While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Use the Future is a 1992 sculpture by Italian artist Maurizio Nannucci.
• It consists of a yellow neon sign that spells out the title phrase.
• Ginger is a 2023 sculpture by Japanese artist Rikako Kawauchi.
• It consists of a pink neon sign that forms an abstract squiggle shape.
• Neon signs became popular with advertisers in the 1920s and began to decline in popularity in the 1960s.
• Neon signs became popular with artists in the 1960s and continue to be popular today.
The student wants to emphasize a difference between the two sculptures. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

C
Nannucci's sculpture was made in 1992 and Kawauchi's in 2023, both well after the advertising heyday of neon signs had passed.
