      The best summary of the first paragraph is:

      B. In 2006, scientists from the International Astronomical Union met in Prague, Czech Republic and decided that Pluto is not a planet.

      Explanation: This option provides a specific time and place for the decision, as well as the key information that Pluto is classified as not being a planet. It is more precise than option A, which implies that there were nine planets without mentioning the decision-making event.
