Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although a memoir can take place in a historical perspective, it is not a comprehensive recounting of a historical accident, but an anecdote of a person's personal and individual encounters, memories and views on a selective significance in his/her time, and how these visions altered the life of the author. The memories could have appeared on a historical context but they do not record in particular the context of the events around the artist, but his/her beliefs and ideas and how he/she encountered said events.
