Answer:

B: When you do not need many details about the experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary Sources are the first-hand accounts of the topic.

Secondary sources are the scholarly books or articles.

The secondary source interprets and also analyzes the primary sources.

Thus, secondary data can be used as a precursor for publishing new primary data.

Thus, Option B: When you do not need many details about the experiment is correct.
