- Option : C
- Explanation : Primary sources contain original thinking,
report on new discoveries, or share fresh
information. Secondary sources offer an
analysis or restatement of primary sources.

compile, or digest primary and secondary
sources. Reference materials and textbooks
are considered tertiary sources when their
chief purpose is to list, summarize or simply
repackage ideas or other information. Tertiary
sources are usually not credited to a particular
author.
Examples of Tertiary Sources: Dictionaries / encyclopaedias (may also be secondary), almanacs, filet books, Wikipedia, bibliographies (may also be secondary), directories, guidebooks, manuals, handbooks, and textbooks (may be secondary), indexing and abstracting sources.
