I think it’s C. I’m not very sure though. It’s definitely not A and B but I do think it is C because normally secondary sources take information from primary sources. Hope this helps in some way :)

Primary Source: A primary source is an original study, document, object, or eyewitness account. ... These are often documents that report, analyze, discuss, or interpret primary sources.
