Answer 2

Answer: A) Encyclopedias.

Explanation: An encyclopedia is a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically. If we want basic, brief information on a topic, the best material to consult would be an encyclopedia, because as it has information about many topics, it is usually very brief and precise. So the correct answer is option A.
