Detailed Solution & Explanation
Primary data is data collected by the investigator or researcher themselves directly from the source for a specific research project or statistical inquiry. Secondary data is data that has already been collected, compiled, and published by another agency, organization, or person for a different purpose. Census reports are published by the government census bureau after a massive data collection process. When other researchers, auditors, or organizations use these published census reports for their own purposes, they are using data collected by a third party. Hence, census reports are a classic source of secondary data. Therefore, Option A is the correct answer. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
