The correct answer is D) historical narrative.
To tell a compelling story about history in written form, historians often rely on historical narrative to keep readers interested.
When you have a historical narrative you are writing about a historical event and combine it with fictional characters and situations that were not part of the real history. The writer has the liberty to include other elements to improve or create more interest in the events. To write a historical narrative you must respect the historical data, events, and real places. You are free to include new elements and characters. And follow a chronological sequence of events.
