While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Brussels sprouts are vegetables that contain ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for humans.
- Cranberries are fruits that contain ascorbic acid.
- There is 80 milligrams (mg) of ascorbic acid per every 100 grams (g) of brussels sprouts.
- There is 13 mg of ascorbic acid per every 100 g of cranberries.
- 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 cranberries are a better source of vitamin C than brussels sprouts are.
Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
