The correct answer is A.

Earlier in the chapter, Woolf writes: It was disappointing not to have brought back in the evening some important statement, some authentic <span>fact.

Thus, she wants facts to back up her claim.

By citing a historian, Woolf is making it clear that she is basing her argument on facts. Otherwise, one might claim she is exaggerating or making up stories. Instead, she is saying that such customs were fact and considered commonplace by both "high as well as low."

If a given word or mannerism is used to identify a character, then this is known as a type of characterization.

<h3>What is Characterization?</h3>

This refers to the literary element that is used to show the roles of characters and how they are used to advance the plot of a story.

Hence, indirect characterization is said to be used in a situation where a person is characterized based on his actions and words and not based on a direct description.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
