Discussion
Which type of research faced the problem of finding appropriate primary sources ?
Answer: D
It is historical research.
Historical research studies past events, so it cannot generate its own data. It has to rely on records left behind, and its primary sources are original documents, letters, official records and the accounts of eyewitnesses. These are often lost, scattered or incomplete, and their authenticity must be tested, so finding appropriate primary sources is the main problem of this method.
Descriptive and exploratory research collect fresh data through surveys, interviews and observation, and experimental research creates its own data by controlled experiment. None of them depends on surviving records in the way historical research does.
