A.Only A
B.Only B
C.Both A and B✓ Correct
D.Neither A nor B
Explanation
Effective history teaching should focus on BOTH plural representations (showing multiple perspectives and historical diversity rather than a single dominant narrative) AND encouraging students to empathize with people of the past by imagining their lives and experiences. These approaches develop critical thinking, historical empathy, and a nuanced understanding of history. Hence both A and B are correct focuses.
