Diachronic
Details icon
Detailed Explanation

The term "Diachronic" is used to describe an account that traces developments over time because "dia-" means "through" or "across," and "chronos" means "time."

 In contrast, "synchronic" relates to events or phenomena at a specific point in time, "epichronic" is not a standard term in this context, and "dialective" is not a recognized term in this context.

 Therefore, "Diachronic" is the most suitable term for describing an account that follows developments over time.

So, the correct option is [3].
