While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Generally, an object will heat up when twisted.
• The twisting of an object is known as torsion.
• A 2019 study led by Zunfeng Liu and Ray Baughman tested the torsional heating of various fibers.
• When a sample of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fiber was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by 6°C.
• When a sample of single-ply nickel-titanium (NiTi) wire was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by 21.3°C.
The student wants to emphasize a similarity between TPU and single-ply NiTi wire fibers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Researchers determined that when the fibers were twisted, the average surface temperature of single-ply NiTi wire increased more than that of TPU.
A
Twisting an object will generally cause its temperature to increase, a process known as torsional heating.
B
Both TPU and single-ply NiTi wire fibers heat up when twisted, according to a 2019 study.
C
In 2019, two research teams observed the effects of torsional heating on various fibers, including TPU and single-ply NiTi wire.
D
