Correct answer: They investigate historical events using evidence and scientific methods.
Explanation: Modern historians base accounts on critical examination of primary and secondary sources, archival research, archaeology, scientific dating and analysis, cross‑checking evidence, and historiographical methods. While art and oral traditions can be useful sources, they must be critically evaluated and corroborated rather than taken at face value — so the other choices alone (or “all of the above”) are incorrect.
