While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
A marathon is a long-distance running race that is 26.2 miles long.
An ultramarathon is a long-distance running race of more than 26.2 miles.
The Kepler Challenge is a one-day, 37.3-mile ultramarathon in New Zealand.
The Spreelauf is a six-day, 261-mile ultramarathon in Germany.
The student wants to make a generalization about ultramarathons. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
A. Examples of ultramarathons include the 37.3-mile Kepler Challenge in New Zealand and the 261-mile Spreelauf in Germany.
B. Ultramarathons range widely in length, from a few dozen miles to a few hundred.
C. While the Kepler Challenge is a one-day ultramarathon, the Spreelauf is a six-day ultramarathon.
D. A marathon is 26.2 miles long, but the Spreelauf ultramarathon, at 261 miles, is far longer.
