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

• The human tongue contains taste receptors for a rich, savory flavor called umami.
• Umami is triggered by the compounds in a variety of foods, including beef and black olives.
• Participants in a study tasted a sample of winged kelp, a type of brown seaweed.
• They rated its umami intensity as moderate.
• The participants tasted a sample of rausu-konbu, another type of brown seaweed.
• They rated its umami intensity as high.

The student wants to emphasize a difference between the two seaweeds. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

C

After tasting two types of brown seaweed, winged kelp and rausu-konbu, participants in a study found rausu-konbu’s umami flavor to be the more intense of the two.

D

Some types of brown seaweed, like winged kelp and rausu-konbu, trigger umami flavor in human taste buds.
