Final answer:

A summarize tool does more than 'only produce a table'; it can also produce dissolved maps, summarize attributes, and aggregate data based on key fields. The option that is not a function of a summarize tool is c. 'Only produces a table'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the functions of a summarize tool in the context of data analysis or geographic information systems (GIS). When considering what actions are not typically performed by a summarize tool, the answer lies in understanding the common functions of such a tool. Summarize tools generally have the ability to dissolve boundaries in a map based on specified attributes (Produce a dissolved map), aggregate data by attributes (Summarize attributes), and perform aggregation based on a specific field or category (Summarize data based on a key field).

However, they are not limited to only producing a table; they can also generate maps and other forms of visual outputs. Therefore, the function not done by a summarize tool, as listed in the options provided, is 'Only produces a table'.
