The correct answer is B. Postmodernism

Explanation:

In sociology, postmodernism refers to a movement that emerged during the 20th century and supports the idea history and society cannot be defined through single conceptions or that there is not a grand narrative or metanarrative. Instead, history and society are subjective and constructed socially, this also implies history and society are dynamic and new explanations and conceptions are needed.

This theory is the one that applies to the idea there is not one "grand narrative" and also to the idea history is seen different from Native Americans than from other groups, because it is in Postmodernism history is constructed according to a cultural and social context and also, in Postmodernism there is no a great narrative or a set of static ideas that can define history or society.
