Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is E) primary; secondary. This is because the company is looking for specific information (housing starts and remodeling trends) across various locations, which would be primary data if they collected it themselves. However, since collecting this data directly would be difficult, they opt to use existing data from the U.S. Department of Commerce reports, which is considered secondary data.
