The correct answer is B) Christian historians have had a major impact on how the world divides time into periods.

The fact supports the conclusion that Christian historians have had a major impact on how the world divides time into periods.

The figure of Jesus of Nazareth and his life has represented a major influence to divide the epochs in time. BC stands for Before Christ, and AD stands for "Anno Domini" that means the "year of our Lord". Many people confuse AD with "after death", but at least this is what it represents in terms of dating time. So it is correct that the fact supports the conclusion that Christian historians have had a major impact on how the world divides time into periods.
