Question when revising an essay, the writer should decide whether the title
a. captures the readers' attention.
b. sums up all the information in the thesis statement.
c. focuses on a single topic.
d. builds up to the thesis statement.

Well, both B,C, and D are all good things. But the main focus should be A. If you don't pique your reader's interest and attention at the very start, it is very unlikely they'll listen to you, and it honestly makes it a struggle for them to finish. Your title should say, "Come here, you want to read this."

Yes this is true statement

D. the colonies continue to depend on britain for protection and governance
