'A knot of history students ...'
What does 'knot' mean in this expression ?
Answer: A
Here knot means a group.
Besides a tie in a string or rope, knot can mean a small, close group of people standing together, as in 'a knot of onlookers'. 'A knot of history students' is a small cluster of students standing and talking together.
'String', 'loop' and 'joint' all relate to the literal meaning of a knot in rope or thread, and do not fit people standing together. Context shows the word is used in its sense of a gathering.
