Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A secondary source is a source that analyzes, interprets, or synthesizes primary sources. In this case, a review of research would be considered a secondary source because it is analyzing and synthesizing primary sources (e.g. research studies). A letter from the author (choice A) would be a primary source, as it is written by the author themselves. Minutes of a meeting (choice C) could be either a primary or secondary source depending on the context.
