B. A historian cites a Japanese newspaper article published a year after the end of World War II in order to draw conclusions about the effect of the war on the Japanese economy

Explanation:

In this case, the historian is actually alluding to a historical source. A Newspaper is also a source of information and it is much more reliable than a random cartoon, a blog post, or an unreliable personal opinion.

From the newspaper, the historian can most likely check opinions from different journalists and the many different things that specialists were saying about the economy of the country back then.
