A table of contents helps readers understand informational texts primarily by **making information easy to locate**. It provides an organized overview of the structure of the text, allowing readers to quickly find specific sections or topics of interest. While it can also provide a general outline of the material, assist in navigating the text without reading it in full, and offer context, its main function is to facilitate easy access to information. So, the first option is the most accurate in describing the key benefit of a table of contents.
