Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{\sf Source \ B }}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each source.

Source A: student produced website

  • A website made by a student isn't trustworthy. It's hard to know where they got their information, how valid their sources are, and how much they paraphrased or changed information.

Source B: book written by a historian

  • This source is much more trustworthy. A historian is almost always reliable with great sources and information.

If you are researching, a book written by a historian (Source B) is much more trustworthy.
