Explanation:

To summarize "Hokusai’s The Great Wave", we need a line that conveys a key point about the artwork. The first option is about appreciating Japanese art in Tokyo, which is not relevant to summarizing the specific artwork. The second option is a personal opinion about Japanese art and the artwork, not a summary of the work. The fourth option is about agreeing with MacGregor's opinions, not summarizing the artwork. The third option explains that MacGregor states the artwork symbolizes Japan’s changing position in the world, which is a key interpretive point about the artwork and fits a summary.

Answer:

C. MacGregor explains that The Great Wave symbolizes Japan’s changing position in the world.
