Solution

The correct option is D sources of history
Historians use different types of sources to learn about the past depending upon the period of their study and the nature of their investigation. They rely upon coins, inscriptions, architecture and textual records for information. Manuscripts were collected by wealthy people, rulers, monasteries and temples. They provide a lot of detailed information to historians but they are also difficult to use.
