While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* Nissologists are scientists who study islands.
* Some insisologists define an island as any piece of land surrounded by water.
* Using that definition, they determined that Sweden has 221,000 islands.
* Other insisologists define an island as being 1 kilometer square, a certain distance from the mainland, and having at least 50 permanent residents.
* Using that definition, they determined that Sweden has 24 islands.
The student wants to make and support a generalization about nissologists' definition of an island. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish these goals?
Difficulty: Hard
A:
The definition of an island as any piece of land surrounded by water is supported by some nissologists, scientists who study islands.
B:
Multiple counts of Sweden's islands have been based on different definitions of an island.
C:
Based on a recent count, Sweden has a relatively small number of islands with at least 50 permanent residents.
D:
Nissologists' different definitions can result in huge disparities in counts of islands, as the example of Sweden shows.
