None of the provided responses accurately describe a main idea. The main idea is generally understood as the central point or most important concept that an author wants to convey in a text, which is often supported by details and evidence throughout the work. If I had to choose the closest option from your list, it would be a short statement of the main events of a text, but this is not entirely correct. The main idea encompasses the overall message or theme rather than just a summary of events.
