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

• Impact craters occur when a large object collides with Earth at high speeds.
• Examples of such objects include comets and meteorites.
• Kelly West is an impact crater in Australia.
• Researchers have determined that it was formed more than 550 million years ago.
• The crater has a diameter of approximately 10 km.

Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to emphasize the size of the crater?

A

When a large object struck what is now Australia more than 550 million years ago, it created Kelly West, a massive crater measuring 10 km in diameter.

B

Impact craters, like Kelly West in Australia, are formed when a massive object collides with Earth, creating depressions in the land.

C

Long ago, a crater now known as Kelly West was created when a large object collided with Earth.

D

Researchers have investigated the formation of Kelly West, an ancient impact crater measuring 10 km in diameter located in Australia.
