Which choice correctly distinguishes the rival mechanisms?
A
The distinction is between an account centered on the announcement as a clear focal point for coordinating action, supported by message-network data showing mobilization posts clustered around the announcement time, and an account centered on the announcement's violation of participants' sense of procedural fairness, supported by interviews saying people marched because officials had ignored public consultation.
B
Both explanations use message-network data showing mobilization posts clustered around the announcement time as their main evidence, but one treats the pattern as beneficial and the other treats it as harmful.
C
It makes the announcement's violation of participants' sense of procedural fairness the first explanation and the announcement as a clear focal point for coordinating action the second explanation.
D
It correctly keeps the causes in order but assigns interviews saying people marched because officials had ignored public consultation to the first explanation and message-network data showing mobilization posts clustered around the announcement time to the second.
