While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Kale is a vegetable that contains ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for humans.
- Apricots are fruits that contain ascorbic acid.
- There is 120 milligrams (mg) of ascorbic acid per every 100 grams (g) of kale.
- There is 10 mg of ascorbic acid per every 100 g of apricot.
- Humans cannot make ascorbic acid in their bodies, so they must get it from foods, including fruits and vegetables.
- Ascorbic acid is also known as vitamin C.
The student wants to refute a claim that apricots are a better source of vitamin C than kale is. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
