While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Two methods estimate global ocean temperatures.</li> <li>Method P uses ship-based bucket measurements (historical) and engine intake measurements.</li> <li>Method Q uses satellite remote sensing.</li> <li>Method P provides direct measurements but with sparse coverage in remote oceans.</li> <li>Method Q provides global coverage but only measures the surface skin temperature.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast the strengths of the two methods. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- Acheck_circle
While ship-based measurements are direct but sparsely distributed, satellite remote sensing covers the globe but reads only the surface skin.
- B
Method P uses ship-based measurements.
- C
Both methods estimate ocean temperatures.
- D
Method Q uses satellites.
Explanation
The goal is methodological strengths. Choice C names each method's distinct asset. The others state similarity or describe one method.
