Which of the following examples illustrates how the past helps us make sense of the present or future ?

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

D. Carolina researches zoning laws and immigration history, which helps her better understand why her neighborhood is mostly Puerto Rican.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because loving the study of the Civil War based on a specific trait such as being the only war America officially fought against itself doesn´t necessarily provide insight for the present or the future.

Option B is incorrect because studying how ancient humans built tools without technology doesn´t provide that kind of insight either.

Option C is incorrect because someone who thinks that studying the history and culture of a place is not necessary has not understood how the past helps us make sense of the present or future.

The only option that illustrates that trait of learning about the past is D, because someone who knows that, to understand her present neighborhood´s social composition, she needs to learn about the history of the place, has fully understood how the past helps us make sense of the present or future.
