(a)that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

 

(b)that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or

 

(c)that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or

 

(d)that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
