Answer:

Option C. The sentence within a piece of writing that provides the main idea of the piece.

Step-by-step explanation:

A topic sentence is defined as "the most important sentence in a paragraph".

The topic sentence helps organize the paragraph by summarizing the information in the paragraph. It is usually the first sentence in a paragraph, although it doesn't strictly have to be.
