I understand are you okay?
Hello. You did not show the answer options, nor did you show the text to which the question refers, which prevents me from answering your question exactly. However, I will try to help you by explaining what a main claim is in a text.
Within a text the main claim is the main idea to which the text presents. It is the subject that the text decides to address.
Usually you find the main claim of a text right at the beginning of the text, because the author needs to arrest readers right from the start showing what the text will discuss about and arresting readers who show interest in the type of discussion presented.
Have you ever watched a dull movie? Have you been bored watching the teacher present slides? Well imagine the teacher presenting every single slide, and each slide has over 1000+ words. Yeah, you would be bored. This is why using the main idea in a presentation is needed; it prevents long slides that could take hours to finish, but it shortens the slide to a point where it can be easily understood without unnecessary detail.
