D. A book about the civil war written by a historian?

The correct answer is B. A diary entry from an american homemaker in 1933.

Step-by-step explanation

A primary source is a type of information source that is characterized by providing information that has not been altered, interpreted, or analyzed by other authors, but rather belongs to the author himself (a person who experienced a specific situation or event). In general, the primary sources of information are diaries, photographs, chronicles, academic papers, speeches, among others. Therefore, a journal entry is an example of a primary source because it contains very reliable and complete information and originated by a person who lived at a specific time performing a specific job (homemaker in 1933).
