The correct answer is A) publishing articles.
Publishing articles is not a necessary part of the historical thinking process.
We use historical thinking when our critical thinking or intellectual abilities evaluate sources of information. We use this critical thinking to analyze primary sources in order to understand history; events, incidents, conflicts, or situations that occurred in the past. In historical thinking, we use multiple perspectives, different sources, research primary documents, the connection among evidence, and the comprehension of the historical context. But publishing articles is not a necessary part of the historical thinking process.
