B. focus on one idea in each paragraph which supports the thesis statement

C. focus on multiple ideas which support the thesis statement

Answer 1

B, you should have separate paragraphs for each piece of evidence to support the thesis. Those paragraphs should each focus solely on that topic evidence. It should not be an introduction to the topic as that is what should happen in the intro paragraph.
