The correct answer is C) Yes, because Nicolaus interviewed many of the people there.

This a reliable source for a historian to use when writing about Caesar’s death because Nicolaus interviewed many of the people there.

Although it is not a hundred percent bulletproof reliable story, it can be considered reliable in that Damascus wrote it using testimonies of people that witnessed the incident. Let's remember that a primary source is the one that directly witnessed the event. It could be a journal, a letter, a photograph of people that were there. But secondary sources are also valid when the research is done properly and the sources are serious and double-checked.

In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed the First Triumvirate, a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Poplars were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through a string of military victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, which greatly extended Roman territory. During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. These achievements and the support of his veteran army threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army.[2] This began Caesar's civil war, which he won, leaving him in a position of near unchallenged power and influence.
