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

• Gianpaolo Bellini is an Italian particle physicist.
• Particle physicists study subatomic particles.
• Neutrinos are some of the least understood subatomic particles.
• Neutrinos were first discovered in the mid-twentieth century.
• Bellini is known for his research on solar and geoneutrinos.

The student wants to provide an example of a particle physicist whose research focuses on neutrinos. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

Neutrinos are a type of subatomic particle that particle physicists are still trying to understand.

B

By studying solar and geoneutrinos—to name just one example—particle physicists can learn more about neutrinos.

C

Particle physicist Gianpaolo Bellini is known for his research on solar and geoneutrinos.

D

The research done on solar and geoneutrinos exemplifies the work particle physicists do to advance our understanding of subatomic particles.
