The student wants to characterize Taiwanese manhua's relationship to … | Verbal SAT Question

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

Late 1800s to the early 1900s: Japanese manga (comics) often used a structured, vertical layout with four panels per page.
Late 1800s to the late 1980s: Heavily influenced by manga, Taiwanese manhua (comics) also favored a structured approach to layout.
Post-1945: Manga artists began experimenting with dynamic panel sizing to enhance visual tension (e.g., establishing visual lines of sight between characters in one panel and objects in the next).
1947 to late 1980s: Taiwanese manhua artists adopted other manga characteristics (e.g., features of genre and narrative complexity).

The student wants to characterize Taiwanese manhua’s relationship to manga from the late 1800s to the late 1980s. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

While Taiwanese manhua artists initially resisted manga’s evolving approach to narrative complexity and genre, they adopted this approach in the early 1900s.

Taiwanese manhua gradually diverged from manga, developing increasingly innovative layouts by the late 1980s.

Though it didn’t always mirror manga trends during this period, Taiwanese manhua remained heavily influenced by manga.

From the time manga’s layout first began to change in the late 1800s until manga’s adoption of dynamic panel sizing in the late 1980s, Taiwanese manhua maintained a structured approach.
