How does the angular resolution of the 305-m Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico compare with the angular resolution of the 10-m Keck optical telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii?
A)   It is not possible to compare their angular resolution because they work in different wavelength ranges.
B)   The 305-m telescope has much better angular resolution than the 10-m Keck telescope.
C)   They have about the same angular resolution because angular resolution is limited by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere, not by mirror diameter.
D)   The 305-m telescope has much worse angular resolution than the 10-m Keck telescope.
