Thanks the answers changed for me but the only one that changed was the right answer (A)

You are on the right track. Including background information in a report can be important to provide context and help readers better understand the topic being discussed. However, the question specifically asks about the historical conditions or factors that led up to the report, not just general background information.

Given the options provided, the best answer would be A) may be unnecessary, depending on the nature and length of your report. This is because not all reports require a thorough explanation of historical conditions or factors, especially if they are relatively short or the topic being addressed does not have significant historical context.

While including historical background can enhance the credibility of a report and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the subject matter, it is not always necessary and might not be relevant in certain situations. Therefore, option A) provides a more balanced view by acknowledging that the necessity of including historical conditions or factors depends on the specific circumstances of the report.

I favor A. It is necessary to include the background information in reports. However, in a long report, you may not want to include this background in the introduction.
