Choose the correct option.

B.A, B, D only✓ Correct
C.A, C, D only
D.B, C, D only
Explanation
History pedagogy involves constructing history from sources (A), tracing continuity and change in social processes (B), and situating events within their socio-political contexts (D). Statement C is partially incorrect because while history should engage with differences in interpretations, it should NOT merely accept the dominant community's view — this would marginalize minority perspectives. Hence A, B, and D together represent proper history pedagogy, making option (2) correct.
