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

In 2004, filmmaker James Hart released Meltdown, a documentary exploring the melting of polar ice caps.
The film used time-lapse footage, animations, and expert interviews to explain the science behind glacial retreat.
In 2021, filmmaker Amina Rhodes released Bleached, which focused on coral reef collapse due to rising ocean temperatures.
Like Meltdown, Bleached combined scientific commentary with powerful visuals to engage viewers.
Both documentaries highlight how climate change is affecting ecosystems in different parts of the planet.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two documentaries. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
