Considering the impact of degree correlations on the emergence of a giant component in random networks, which of the following statements is correct?

A. The phase transition point is the same for assortative and disassortative networks

B. The phase transition occurs at higher ⟨k⟩ in assortative networks and at lower ⟨k⟩ in disassortative networks

C. For large ⟨k⟩, the giant component is smaller in assortative networks than in disassortative networks

D. Regardless of ⟨k⟩, the giant component is always larger in neutral networks than in assortative or disassortative networks

E. None of the above
