An objective summary should capture the main and most significant events. Option A includes the key elements of the genocide victims (Tutsi and moderate Hutus) and the international inaction, which are central aspects. Option B focuses on a single - letter and peacekeeper numbers, Option C is about the establishment of UNAMIR and parties in a cease - fire, and Option D is about the breakdown of negotiations and start of the genocide but lacks the international response aspect like Option A.
