Right choice:

d. historical writing should be objective, accurate, and factual.

Explanation:

Thucydides is a famous historian of ancient Greece. He is mainly known for his historical record of the Peloponnesian War, the war between the city-states of Athens and Sparta. He based his writing in facts and records, he wasn't given to use legend or myth as a legitimate source of history.
