A student writes this paragraph about citizen science projects that track birds: Birdwatchers contribute to science by recording sightings on apps and websites. When thousands of participants submit observations, researchers can map migration routes and see how timing changes from year to year. Because the data come from many skill levels, projects often include built-in photo guides and prompts that encourage careful identification. The result is a large, continuously updated dataset that would be difficult for a small research team to collect alone. The writer wants to add a sentence after the third sentence that explains how projects improve data reliability. Which choice best accomplishes this?
