Explanation:

A historian studying the sinking of the USS Maine would use the diagram to understand its construction. The first option is about shipbuilding for non - sinking, not historical investigation. The second option needs info on Spanish ships (not provided by this diagram). The fourth is about new design, not historical research. The third option, learning about how the USS Maine was built, is relevant as a diagram of the ship helps in understanding its construction, which can aid in investigating its sinking.

Answer:

learn more about how the USS Maine was built.
