Explanation:

To support the key idea that people have been creating self - images long before modern selfie culture, we need an example from the past. Option A is about a recent selfie - related accident, so it doesn't show long - term self - image creation. Option B mentions a self - portrait by Rembrandt, a 17th - century artist. A self - portrait is a form of creating an image of oneself, and since Rembrandt is from the 17th century, this shows self - image creation long before modern selfie culture. Option C is about types of selfie - takers, not about the history of self - image creation. Option D is about a research - related selfie project, which is modern and not about the long - term history of self - image creation.

Answer:

B. A self - portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn, a 17th - century Dutch artist, shows an expression similar to the classic “duckface” selfie. (paragraph 12)
