To summarize a text means to succinctly state the supporting details of the text in the author’s words. central ideas of the text using the author’s words. descriptions of the main characters in one’s own words. central ideas of the text using one’s own words.

The correct answer is central ideas of the text using one’s own words.

Indeed, when you are summarizing a text you describe the central ideas by using your own words. By doing that you show that you understand the text but also that you are capable of using your own vocabulary and style to describe them.

Such exercise not only enriches and expands your vocabulary and expression it also forces you to think and reflect on the ideas you are describing and your own perception of them as well as your capacity to convey the latter. Finally it helps you avoid plain plagiarism and just senseless repetition of someone else's views.
