While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Solar power generates electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic cells.</li> <li>Wind power generates electricity from moving air using turbines.</li> <li>Solar produces during daytime; output drops at night and in cloudy weather.</li> <li>Wind produces whenever wind blows, day or night, but is weather-dependent.</li> <li>Both are considered renewable, low-carbon energy sources.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast the two sources' availability patterns. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
Wind power uses turbines to convert moving air into electricity.
- B
Solar uses photovoltaic cells; wind uses turbines.
- C
Both solar and wind are renewable, low-carbon sources.
- Dcheck_circle
While solar produces only during daylight, wind can produce day or night whenever wind blows.
Explanation
The goal is contrasting availability. Choice C contrasts daytime-only with day/night. A is similarity, B contrasts technology, D describes one source.
