Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are

History can be documented in many ways: As written works in the form of books or newspapers. Newspapers convey national and international news. They cover political, economic, social, and cultural news, making them a very important source of history. India attained its independance in 1947. So these would have been commemorated by stamps issued after 1947.
