Let $G$ be any undirected graph with positive edge weights, and $T$ be a minimum spanning tree of $G$. For any two vertices, $u$ and $v$, let $d_1(u, v)$ and $d_2(u, v)$ be the shortest distances between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ and $T$, respectively. Which ONE of the options is CORRECT for all possible $G, T, u$ and $v$ ?

A
$d_1(u, v)=d_2(u, v)$
B
$d_1(u, v) \leq d_2(u, v)$
C
$d_1(u, v) \geq d_2(u, v)$
D
$d_1(u, v) \neq d_2(u, v)$
