Correct Answer: The historians


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The error is in the use of the definite article " the " before " historians" . In this context, the sentence is referring to historians in a general sense, so the definite article " the " should not be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " Historians are a great asset to the field of academia."
