D.

Answer 1

Option B is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Historical contexts are mostly relied upon by the historians to study the development and interpret some facts regarding arts, music and literature. Builders and architects rely on it in order to imitate the ancient designs in the modern work. This increases the value of the ancient work.

Judges and other board of judiciary can interpret it in order to better comprehend the laws that already existed and many researchers can be continued based on the suitability of those laws in modern society.

Without historical context whatever artifacts that exist are mere things which can be outwardly seen and observed but cannot be felt and experienced without Historical context.
