The answer is a. The body develops the main idea of an essay.
Here's why the other answers don't work out:
b. The body appears in the conclusion of the essay--This is not true because the body of an essay, also known as the supporting paragraphs, fall <em>between </em>the introduction and the conclusion, not <em>in </em>the conclusion. (It comes before the conclusion.)
c. The body states the main idea of the essay--The introduction should state the main idea of an essay, not the body.
d. The body sums up the main idea of an essay--The conclusion sums up the main idea of an essay, not the body.
Hope this helps!
