There is no correct answer among the proposed ones.

The BASH man page says:
“HISTSIZE
The number of commands to remember in the command history (see HISTORY below). The default value is 500.”
[https://linux.die.net/man/1/bash]

So there is not a ‘current session’ as indicated in the false correct answer and also in the other ones.
