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 styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) rubber fiber was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by $3.5^{\circ }\text{C}$.
• When a sample of single-ply nickel-titanium (NiTi) wire was twisted, its average surface temperature increased by $21.3^{\circ }\text{C}$.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between SEBS rubber and single-ply NiTi wire fibers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

In 2019, two research teams observed the effects of torsional heating on various fibers, including SEBS rubber and single-ply NiTi wire.

B

Both SEBS rubber and single-ply NiTi wire fibers heat up when twisted, according to a 2019 study.

C

Researchers determined that when the fibers were twisted, the average surface temperature of single-ply NiTi wire increased more than that of SEBS rubber.

D

Twisting an object will generally cause its temperature to increase, a process known as torsional heating.
