B no
Explanation:
wont make sense on its own
I would say the main headings and key concepts in a reading assignment would help one to grasp what the topic is basically about ie paying attention to these two things would be an essential part of a study guide so that the main meaning of the writing could be grasped.
I believe you are referring to this text:
<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.
From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
