Expression of Ideas / Rhetorical Synthesis Difficulty: Easy

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

In World War I, US soldiers who were members of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma participated in the Choctaw Code Talkers program.
The Choctaw Code Talkers were trained to relay coded military information in their native language.
In World War II, the US Army recruited Navajo (Diné) soldiers to transmit coded messages in their native language.
These soldiers were known as the Navajo Code Talkers.

The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the Choctaw Code Talkers and the Navajo Code Talkers. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

US soldiers who were members of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma used their native language to relay coded information.

In World War II, one group of Navajo (Diné) soldiers was known as the Navajo Code Talkers.

Both the Choctaw Code Talkers and the Navajo Code Talkers transmitted coded military messages in the soldiers’ native languages.

The Choctaw Code Talkers, not the Navajo Code Talkers, served in World War I.
