Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The main point the author is trying to make

Explanation:

In texts including essays, articles, summarizes, etc. the central idea refers to the main point, though or idea the author wants to develop during the text commonly by using multiple details organized in different body paragraphs. This implies, in a text, the central idea is the most important idea as other ideas are always related to the central idea as they aim at explaining it or proving it and therefore these are secondary ideas in opposition to the primary or central idea. Considering this, the central idea refers to the main point the author is trying to make.
