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

• Sandvikens Gymnasieskola is in Sandviken, Sweden. It is home to a Foucault pendulum.
• The University of Oradea is in Oradea, Romania. It is home to a Foucault pendulum.
• A Foucault pendulum dangles from a fixed point that ensures the swing path of the pendulum doesn’t change.
• To an observer, the swing path of a Foucault pendulum appears to change over time because Earth rotates beneath it.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two locations. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

A

Sandvikens Gymnasieskola in Sandviken, Sweden, and the University of Oradea in Oradea, Romania, both house Foucault pendulums.

B

Sandvikens Gymnasieskola, which is home to a Foucault pendulum, is in Sweden, not Romania.

C

One Foucault pendulum is in Sweden, and the other is in Romania.

D

Because Earth rotates beneath it, the swing path of the Foucault pendulum at Sandvikens Gymnasieskola appears to change over time.
