Detailed Solution & Explanation
In statistics, data is classified as primary or secondary based on how it is gathered. Primary data is original data collected first-hand by the researcher for their specific study. Methods for gathering primary data include the observation method (Option A), the interview method (Option C), and the mailed questionnaire method (Option D). Secondary data, by contrast, is data that has already been collected, compiled, and published or stored by another agency or organization for a different purpose. Obtaining data from an international source like the World Bank (Option B) is a classic example of collecting secondary data, as the researcher is utilizing pre-existing records rather than generating the data from scratch.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
