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

Agronomist Dev Bhattacharya tested three cover crops planted on bare fields between growing seasons: clover, rye, and buckwheat.
Clover drew nitrogen into the soil and crowded out weeds while it grew.
Rye's dense roots held the loose soil in place and crowded out weeds while it grew.
Buckwheat grew quickly and crowded out weeds while it grew.
At the end of each trial, the crop was cut down and left on the field to enrich the soil.

The student wants to make a generalization about the three cover crops based on the notes. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

ABhattacharya found that clover drew nitrogen into the soil, rye held the loose soil in place, and buckwheat grew quickly.

BAlthough the three cover crops benefited the soil in different ways, each of them crowded out weeds while it grew.

CThe three cover crops that Bhattacharya tested each had a positive effect on the field.

DBuckwheat stood out among the crops Bhattacharya tested because it grew more quickly than clover or rye.
