Solution

The correct option is B Philosophical
After the arrival of the British in India, the writing of history was, naturally, profoundly affected. The historian started giving a philosophical touch to every event he described. This was termed History. Every incident was narrated in a way beneficial to the writers. For ex: the British, while writing, projected all the freedom struggles as mutiny or riots. But the Indian writers rejected them as mutiny and instead called them a struggle for independence.
