question 2 of 10
all historical sources have biases because:

a. they are created to help historians understand the past.

b. their content is always designed to make a political point.

c. their creators have their own opinions and points of view.

d. they are created by people who did not witness the events.

Explanation:

• Option A: Helping historians understand the past doesn't inherently cause bias.
• Option B: Not all historical sources are made to make a political point; this is an overgeneralization.
• Option C: Creators of historical sources have their own opinions, perspectives, and backgrounds, which influence how they record or present information, leading to bias.
• Option D: Many historical sources are created by witnesses, and even if not, the lack of direct witnessing isn't the primary reason for universal bias.

C. their creators have their own opinions and points of view.
