One technique for the detection of neutrinos from outer space involves the reaction of neutrinos with protons in a water tank, with the resulting high-speed positrons, or positive electrons, then generating Cerenkov radiation in the water. How is this Cerenkov radiation produced?
A)   By the passage of the charged positron through the water at a speed greater than the speed of light in a vacuum
B)   By the recombination of the positron with a proton to produce neutral hydrogen and Balmer series line emissions
C)   By the annihilation of a negative electron in the water by the positron
D)   By the charged positron moving in the water faster than the speed of light in water
