Historians primarily study A) Change over time, as they examine the causes and effects of past events to understand how societies and cultures evolve. This analysis helps connect historical developments to contemporary issues. Their work is not just about documenting facts, but about interpreting those facts to form a coherent understanding of human experience across time.
