Answer:
Correct answer is C. Dividing China's history based on which dynasty ruled the country.
Explanation:
Option C is the only correct answer as we create periodization to divide history into quantified time blocks of time, with a goal to easily research what has happened in the past. Therefore dividing history of China according to the periods of reign of certain countries is one way of periodization.
Option A is not correct as this refers to the ways how someone measured time, not how he created periodization of certain periods and events.
Option B is not correct as this is description of historical events, not periodization of those events.
Last option is also not correct as it shows different accounts of certain historical events, not their periodization.
