Answer:
answer is a. The diary of Anne Frank
1. The primary source of data is data directly analyzed by the interviewer based on first-hand evidence collected.
2. It includes official statistics, historical handwritten documents, historical artwork and more.
3. Answering the question given,
a. The Diary of Anne Frank - It is popularly known as "The Diary of a Young Girl." It tells us the first-hand experience of Anne, a jew, during the time of World War 2. So, it is a primary source
b. The sarcophagus of King Tut - It is the tombstone in which king Tut was laid after his mysterious death. It is a solid Gold coffin. Since it is real and the first source of information of King Tut's mummy, it is also a primary source
c. film footage of the Vietnam War - The most popular footage of the Vietnam war is from the movie "Platoon" by Oscar Stone with delivered Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. So it is technically not a primary source of data.
d. Documentary about the American Revolution - Documentaries are usually made with real and honest accounts of people, so it is a primary source of data.
Thus option (C) Film footage of the Vietnam war is the only data that is not from a primary source
