­Onset means start. So we are looking for the number of techniques that started between 1600 and 1800.
B, C and D start during this period. Thus, the answer is 3.

Next, the maximum number that were in common use at the same time during this period
We have to find time period between 1600 and 1800, when maximum horizontal bars are stacked and have overlap.
1725 to 1790, the three techniques were being used simultaneously. So, the answer is 3 again­

The question asks for the *onset*, which means the left side of the bar, or the start of the technique being used. You can see A started around 1550, therefore we do not count it along with B, C, and D.
