B: an analysis of claims and statements in the text

Analyzing the claims and statements in an informational text helps readers understand how the author supports the central idea and what evidence is provided. This analysis is crucial for determining the main point or argument of the text. While the other options may provide context or additional insights, option B directly engages with the content of the text to uncover its central idea.
