c. as a result of malala publicly
opposing the taliban’s efforts,

Explanation:

To determine the best summary of the main idea, we analyze each option:

• Option B focuses on a specific incident (anxiety about father's consequences, continuing school) which is likely a detail, not the main idea.
• Option C focuses on Malala becoming well - known due to opposing the Taliban, which is a part of her story but not the overarching main idea.
• Option A covers her achievements (awards, popularity) and her continued efforts to share her story and advocate for others' rights, which is a more comprehensive summary of her broader impact and actions, fitting the main idea of a selection about Malala.

Answer:

A. After impressively achieving multiple awards and popularity for her efforts, Malala continues to share her story and speak up for the rights of others. (paragraph 10)
