Explanation

The correct option is causation is linked to Paper 2. This MCQ is about What best anchors causation, not just general recall. The correct option works because it matches the period context of Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment and uses the same evidence base as Explain historical events, issues or developments using causation, change, continuity and/or consequence. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A claim about change with no date or context.; 2) An opinion that ignores historical evidence.; 3) A conclusion that reverses cause and consequence.. To decide between them, students should separate, explain, weigh, link the option against chronology, evidence and the learning objective, then keep evidence separate from opinion and interpretation.
