B)robbery @ Ferguson’s jewelry on Sat.—necklaces stolen. I would say this covers the main points of what happened, where, when and what was stolen, and in note form to make it easy to transcribe into a fully written out version

The point of note-taking is not just writing down as much information as possible to summarize the central idea of a passage or a paragraph, but rather, being able to understand the central idea, or main idea, within the paragraph so that it can be transcribed into fewer words, but retaining what the writer initially wanted to say. Basically, good note-taking, when analyzing a text, reflects the level of understanding of a reader and his/her ability to summarize. From the several sentences given in the options, the best one to reveal the central idea of the passage, and not all the minute details, is C, basically because it allows us to know what happened, when and where, but it does not add minute details, which is not part of gathering central or main ideas.
