Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Figure 4.2 in the text categorizes external secondary data sources into two main groups: general business sources and government sources. Therefore, option B ("general business;government") is the best choice. Option A ("public business;government") is not a valid answer because "public business" is not a recognized category. Option C ("general business;federal") is incorrect because "federal" refers specifically to the US government, whereas "government" in the figure refers to all levels of government. Option D ("public business;federal") is incorrect for the same reason as option A.
