The most accurate response is:

A hook grabs the reader's attention and makes them want to read more.

A hook is designed to engage readers from the very beginning, capturing their interest and encouraging them to continue reading. While it may set up the context for the thesis statement, it is distinct from the thesis itself and does not provide evidence or summarize the paper.
