Answer is either A, B, C or D.

 

Well, not being a historian, it seems to me that all four are quite possible and that there is nothing to choose between B, C and D which all amount to the same thing.

 

Note that the title is not a question which asks which is correct, it is an instruction to choose one. So you could choose any, irrespective of whether it is correct or not.
