Answer 1

One example of a thesis that a historian might write would be "D) the american civil war was caused not by slavery but by economic factors," since this is taking a stance on an opinion that requires proof. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) the American Civil War was caused not by slavery but by economic factors.

An example of a Tesis that a historian might right is "the American Civil War was caused not by slavery but by economic factors."

When writing a Tesis, a historian knows that he has to establish a good and proper hypothesis.
