Answer:

A. a time period between prehistory and written history

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the closest answer because the definition of protohistoric era is "a period between prehistory and history during which a culture or civilization has not yet developed writing, but other cultures have already noted its existence in their own writings." A is the only answer that matches up with the definition of protohistoric era.
