In the late 1990s, the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft detected magnetized patches of terrain near the north pole of Mars and also in the Terra Sirenum region, which is in the planet`s southern hemisphere. These magnetic features may be relics of a global magnetic field in the vicinity of several huge, ancient craters in the Terra Sirenum region, astronomers believe these craters were formed some 3.8 billion years ago from the impact of chunks of debris pelting the inner solar system, where Mars orbits the Sun. If a global magnetic field once existed on Mars, it must have vanished before these craters formed. Such large impacts beat rock to temperatures well above 600 degrees Celsius--high enough to erase any magnetic field that metallic particle within the rock strong at the time the craters formed, it would have realigned and remagnetized the articles as they cooled. The Surveyor findings thus suggest the magnetic field vanished early in the planet`s 4.5 billion-year existence.

The author`s conclusion in the final sentence of the passage is based in part on which of the following points?

AElsewhere on Mars there are likely to be patches of magnetized terrain similar to those that the Mars Global Surveyor detected.
BPlanets other than Mars could have been affected by the chunks of debris that pelted the inner solar system 3.0 billion years ago.
CA global magnetic field on Mars could have remagnetized metallic particles that had lost their magnetic field.
DNot all collisions between debris chunks and planets result in the formation of craters.
EImpacts much smaller than the ones that probably created the craters in the Terra Sirenum region do not heat rocks to temperatures above 600 degrees Celsius.
