C
Concepts are presented in a logical order.
I
Ideas are stated subjectively to include the writer’s opinion.
P
Paraphrasing creates a condensed version of the text.

Explanation

A summary includes the text’s controlling idea and its central ideas, expressed in your own words. It presents those ideas in a logical order and condenses the original text through paraphrasing. A summary should be objective, so including the writer’s personal opinion, as in choice D, is not a feature of a summary.
