To establish focus and make a claim.

The correct answer is "to establish focus and make a claim". The purpose of a thesis statement is to provide a guide to the reader so she or he would know what your essay is about. In order to make this guide clear, the thesis statement should include the focus of your essay and make a claim around the theme of it.
