Detailed Solution & Explanation

Primary data is defined as data that is collected by the investigator or researcher first-hand for the specific purpose of the study. Since the investigator is directly responsible for designing the tools and gathering this original data from the field, it is classified as primary data. Secondary data, by contrast, is compiled by other sources. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
