While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:<br/><br/>* Archaeologist Jon Erlandson and colleagues argue that humans first arrived in the Americas by sea.<br/>* They propose that humans traveled between Pacific Ocean islands and coastlines from northeast Asia to the Americas.<br/>* Many of these islands and coastal zones were later submerged as glaciers melted and sea levels rose.<br/>* The researchers think that "a coastal route, including kelp forests and estuaries, would have provided a rich mix of marine, estuarine, riverine, and terrestrial resources" such as seaweeds, fish, and birds.<br/>* This proposed scenario is known as the kelp highway hypothesis.<br/><br/>The student wants to summarize the kelp highway hypothesis. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
