Solution

The historian can determine whether two events are causally related or correlated by determining whether one of the events led to the other. This is because a causal relationship implies that one event (the cause) brings about or results in the other event (the effect). On the other hand, correlation simply means that two events occur together but does not necessarily imply that one causes the other. Therefore, the correct answer is C. By determining whether one of the events led to the other.
