Solution

The correct option is B Archive
Zainab can visit both museums and archives. Museums primarily have many archaeological sources stored in them, for people to see and learn about. Museums also have literary sources, which can be purchased from them. Archives contain mainly literary sources. But some of the literary sources which are found through excavations, such as manuscripts are also called literary sources. Manuscripts can also be found in archives.
