Answer 2

Primary sources are original materials that have not been altered or distorted in any way. In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called original source or evidence) is an artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study.

Answer 3

I'd say that D is the best answer.
