Solution

The correct option is A To capture the characteristics of a time

We try and divide history into different periods in order to capture the characteristics of time. Also, it is done to capture the central features of that particular time. It is important to demarcate the difference between periods as they reflect our ideas about the past. Also, we come to know about the region involved and chronological study of events.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
