D. Oversimplifications often ignore complex or contradictory evidence.

Explanation:

Historians should avoid over simplification as such because it often ignores complex or contradictory evidence.

Historians are saddled with the responsibility of trying to understand and decipher the past in order to predict the future.

In doing this, different sources are usually employed in studies. Primary and secondary sources of information can be quite challenging to comprehend and place in historical terms.

Oversimplification often tends to makes things to simple and distort the information they convey.

This procedure distorts history since it tends to ignore complex evidences that are not straightforward.
