What is considered the main difference between prehistory and history?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Availability of written sources
In the common school-level classification, prehistory refers to periods for which written records are not available, so knowledge comes mainly from archaeological evidence. History generally refers to periods with usable written records, although the boundary is not identical in every region. Soil colour, mountain height and river number do not define the distinction. Hence, option A is correct.
