Solution

The correct option is C Reviews
Primary sources are referred to as original sources like first-person account, his memoirs (and other documents), archaeological remains etc. The secondary source is basically an analysis or interpretation of the original or primary source. It tries to establish the understanding or generalization of primary sources, e.g. after studying pottery remains of Vedic age historians club them into era or ages. Both primary and secondary sources are complementary to each other.
