Answer:

C. A Television Interview

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary source is anything that comes directly from the source or time period.

A documentary is made by people after it happened, a textbook is created after the content is already derived, and a biography is written by someone other than the person it is about.

A TV interview is the only one that gets things directly to the source. You can use quotes directly from the person being interviewed.
