c. by introducing the persons responsible for

d. by introducing other historical figures who

Explanation:

To determine how paragraphs 1 - 2 develop Obama's central idea, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The question is about developing the central idea, not just describing Parks' life before activism. This is not focused on central idea development.
• Option B: Describing Parks as an average citizen who fought for what is right would help in developing a central idea related to her significance, as it emphasizes her ordinary - yet - heroic nature, which is likely central to Obama's speech about dedicating her statue.
• Option C: The central idea is about Parks, not the people who created the statue. So this is irrelevant.
• Option D: Introducing other historical figures is not related to developing the central idea about Parks.

Answer:

B. by describing Parks as an average citizen who fought for what is right
