Explanation:

Without the actual news - story text, we assume the best summary should be a concise statement about the main event. Option D provides a specific event (people watching a solar eclipse in 2015) which is more likely to be the main focus of a news - story compared to general facts about eclipses (options B and C) or a side - note about viewing conditions (option A).

Answer:

D. People in some parts of the world watched a solar eclipse in 2015.
