The student wants to contrast how green backgrounds are used in US and UK road signs. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Blue backgrounds are generally used on directional highway signs in the UK, in contrast to the green highway signs used in the US.

In the US, green signs indicate directional information on both highways and major roadways, but in the UK, directional signs of this color generally appear only on major roadways.

Green road signs are used in both the US and UK to denote directional information on major roadways, like distance to a destination or route names.

Both the UK and the US use directional signs, which include information on route names and distance to a destination.
