C Correct answer
Explanation

'Exhaustively' is correct because it means 'thoroughly' or 'completely', which best fits searching through old records systematically. When you search exhaustively, you examine everything carefully and leave nothing unchecked. 'Exclusively' (only), 'effectively' (with good results), 'equally' (to the same degree), and 'evidently' (obviously) don't convey this sense of thorough, complete searching.
