C.) an interpretive claim
Historical thesis statements are argumentative and represent the writer's position on an issue.
Historical essays tend to address themes like cause and effect, change over time, and comparison. Another common essay topic addresses the turning points of historical eras. As long as the prompt is open ended and can be argued, an appropriate thesis can be written.
