The best summary of the first paragraph is:
A. People thought there were nine planets in the solar system until a team of scientists known as the International Astronomical Union decided that Pluto should not be a planet.
Explanation: Option A provides a broader context by including the general belief about the nine planets and the significance of the decision made by the International Astronomical Union. In contrast, option B is more specific and focuses solely on the event in 2006 without mentioning the previous belief about the solar system. This makes option A a more comprehensive summary.
