Explanation:

As per the question, option A displays the quotation that most appropriately conveys the central idea of the text that 'once they are made aware of the problem (on the sea turtles), diverse groups of people are motivated and determined to protect the sea turtles.' The central idea is reflected through the statement in the quotation i. e. 'with a little knowledge and a lot of work, they were able to ensure the safety of sea turtles for generations.' The idea not only surrounds and dominates the entire narrative but also functions to unify the several elements of the plot together to convey an accomplished and coherent thought.
