In my view the extra option is D) Interpretive claims. Because it shows author opinion istead of facts. Every scholar should present only facts in the essay

Kelly Gilbert · Answer 2

Well, you wouldn't need either A) argumentative thesis statement, given that you aren't arguing for anything if you are just writing about a historical figure, or D) interpretive claims, again, because you aren't interpreting anything.

I would go with D, but either seems correct.
