History found answers to many answers by studying the way of thinking of past societies, their actions, and the consequences. By studying what is and what is not favorable for the progress of human society also helped historians to find answers to many questions. History provides guidelines about how we should behave today to shape a good future.
History implies the study of change over time that covers all aspects of human society. History includes developments of political, social, economic, scientific, technological, medical, cultural, intellectual, religious, and military. History is an intellectual discipline that tries to make a sense of the past. Some say that History is a story of progress with everything which goes on improving. Historical processes have complex relations between interrelated factors. Non-historians get information from television, movies, books, and magazines. According to historians, all sources have some biases, omissions, contradictions, and other limitations. Historians should know and study how to recognize the strength and weaknesses of different sources. Historians used different types of tools that help them find answers to many questions. These tools include:
1. Primary sources: something that is written or created by a person who saw a historical event. It includes letters, diaries, speeches, and photographs.
2. Secondary sources: it is written after a historical event by people who did not see the event. It includes books and paintings are examples of secondary sources.
3. Oral history: it is the unwritten verbal accounts of events. It includes stories, customs, and songs which is passed from generation to generation.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: The famous line of Non-historians is that “history repeats itself”. History cannot repeat itself because history is not a living thing, it changes. Historians are people who study the past using different kinds of tools. In the nineteenth century, ‘Historian’ has become a professional occupation.
