The correct answer is A. Primary source documents that are useful in the study of history.
Explanation
Letters and magazines can be considered primary sources by historians because there are documents in which they can find reliable information wrote by person who lived in a specific time or event that occurred in history, for example, the history of the countries of America has been constructed from Navigation charts or diaries written by the discoverers or conquerors.
