History

Answer:

The correct answer is <u><em>B) Oversimplifications often ignore complex or contradictory  evidence</em></u>

Explanation:

History is not always easy to study and the further we go back, the further we have to rely on second hand or third hand sources.

For example, in order to study something that happened 20 years ago is fairly easy since it would be recorded either in newspapers, books, or even video.

However, it is not always easy to draw conclusions when we are studying an event that took place 2,000 years ago.

Most of them times we rely on information passed on from generations before until finally someone wrote it down.

While many historians get tempted to Over-simply an event to draw certain conclusions, this should not be practiced as it creates a bias and forces us to study or even research for contradictory evidence. Sometimes, this contradictory evidence can completely change our understanding of the event.
