While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Maya Lin is an American artist known for her memorials and works of installation art.
  • She completed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982.
  • It is a memorial sculpture consisting of two 246-foot granite walls, and it is designed to commemorate veterans of the Vietnam War.
  • She completed Untitled (Topographic Landscape) in 1997.
  • It is an installation composed of wood that fills an entire gallery room.
The student wants to describe Untitled (Topographic Landscape) to a new audience. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

C
Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a granite memorial sculpture that commemorates veterans of the Vietnam War, while Untitled (Topographic Landscape) is an installation artwork.
D
Completed in 1997, Maya Lin’s Untitled (Topographic Landscape) is a large-scale installation artwork composed of wood that fills an entire gallery room.
