Correct Answer: who study the meaning


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be who studies the meaning to maintain the subject-verb agreement because the subject historian is singular, and the verb should also be singular ( studies ).

Therefore, the correct sentence is: A historian is one who studies the meaning of documents written in the past.
