The correct answer is D.

The battle of the Somme , also known as the Somme Offensive was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of world war I.

It was fought between July 1 and November 1 1916 near the Somme River  in France. By the time the battle ended, the British suffered 420,000 casualties, the French 195,000 and the Germans 650,000, with the allies having advanced only 8 km (5 miles) .

Only in the sense of relieving the French at Verdun can the British have claimed any measure of success.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
