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

• Save Me is a 2018 sculpture by American artist Olivia Steele.
• It is a pink neon sign that spells out the title phrase.
• 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.
• Writer Sarah Archer says, "[Neon signs] must be made by hand because there's no cost-effective way to mass-produce them."
The student wants to connect the sculpture to the history of neon in art. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
