Define central or main idea.
a. a summary of a piece of writing
b. a one-on-one or small group question-and-answer session
c. the thesis statement of original documents
d. an object created by someone with firsthand experience

The right answer is C.

The central idea is therefore the most important content of a work, a proposal, a project, etc. Without this central idea, the work would not be understood or it would lose its value.

Examples: "The central idea of Little Red Riding Hood is that one should not disobey his parents"
