The 2012 production of Chaplin was the first Broadway show for which Amy Clark was credited as a costume designer. Clark was among the Broadway costume designers interviewed by Sara Jablon-Roberts and Eulanda A. Sanders for their study of historical accuracy in costume design for shows with a historical setting. They found that even designers who value historical accuracy will often include contemporary design elements that don't fit with the historical period. In a research paper about theatrical costume design, a student argues that costume designers for modern productions of plays such as the musical Les Misérables (set in the early 1800s) sometimes include such elements unintentionally.

Which quotation from an interview with a costume designer would most effectively support the student's claim?

• A.

  "In my most recent work, I decided not to include extra fabric in the seat of one character's pants, even though that would've been typical for the time, because the extra fabric was visually unappealing."

• B.

  "We may strive for historical accuracy in our work, but frankly, I think true accuracy is an impossible feat given that we can't know all the ways that our approach to costume design is influenced by our modern sensibilities."

• C.

  "Costumes must always reflect the correct historical period. Too often, I've seen costumes that borrow from a wide span of periods, resulting in a production with a confusing visual style."

• D.

  "I tend to pay careful attention to a character's accessories like gloves, hats, and jackets. These elements help communicate information about how this person would have fit into society at the time."
