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

• The A.M. Turing Award is a prestigious award given for “major contributions of lasting importance to computing.”
• Frances E. Allen won the award in 2006 for pioneering work in optimizing compiler techniques.
• John McCarthy won the award in 1971 for contributions to the field of artificial intelligence.

The student wants to emphasize the order in which Frances E. Allen and John McCarthy won the A.M. Turing Award. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

In 2006, Frances E. Allen won the A.M. Turing Award for pioneering work in optimizing compiler techniques.

B

Frances E. Allen and John McCarthy both won the A.M. Turing Award, which is given for “major contributions of lasting importance to computing.”

C

It was in 1971 that John McCarthy won the A.M. Turing Award.

D

John McCarthy won the A.M. Turing Award in 1971; Frances E. Allen won it later, in 2006.
