Answer :
The correct answer is C) a retelling of what people did in prehistoric times.
The statement that is not an accurate definition of history is “a retelling of what people did in prehistoric times.”
W.C. Sellar and R.J. Yeatman defined history in their “Manual of General History” as “the narration of events of which have happened among mankind, including an account of the rise and fall of nations, as well as other great changes which have affected the political and social condition of the Human race.”
That is why history cannot be a mere retelling of what people did in prehistoric times. History has to be documented. Historians do any kind of research in order to understand the past and to explain the present.
