The correct answer is C. primary source.
A primary source is an original document or firsthand account from the time under study. If “The Amazon Expedition” is a firsthand account of events or experiences related to the expedition itself, it qualifies as a primary source. If it were a later analysis or interpretation of those events, it would be considered a secondary source.
