Which one is the true example of primary data from the following options ?

  • A.Journal
  • B.Book
  • C.Census Report
  • D.Newspaper

Answer: C

The true example of primary data is a Census Report.

Primary data are collected first-hand by an investigator for a purpose. Census data are collected directly from every household by the census organisation, so the census report presents original, first-hand data.

Journals, books and newspapers usually report, summarise or interpret information gathered by others, so they are standard examples of secondary sources.
