A. identifying details gathered while prewriting and organizing them into groups of related ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

A thesis statement identifies the topic that will be discussed in the paper, therefore it must be clear and it should only cover what is going to be discussed, it is also used to generate interest in your topic. It should be narrowed down to a specific topic and points towards a conclusion.
