Answer:

If you are writing a summary of a science text about volcanoes, what  information should you include?

C. The causes and effects of volcanic eruptions .

Explanation:

According to the instructions, we are writing a summary. We must not include our own opinion or ideas in a summary. Its purpose is to express, in fewer words, the same idea as the work being summarized expresses. Only relevant information should be included, otherwise the summary will end up being as long as the original text. Having that in mind, we can easily eliminate options A, B, and D. Option C is the only one that presents important information. Letter B has irrelevant information, and letters A and D have an unnecessary expression of personal opinions an ideas.
