Explanation:

Primary sources are firsthand accounts created by someone who experienced or witnessed an event. A 1933 diary entry by a homemaker is a direct, contemporary record of her experiences. The other options (blog arguing about Roosevelt, historian’s book on the Civil War, magazine’s analysis of voting history) are secondary sources as they interpret or analyze past events rather than being original firsthand records.

Answer:

C. A diary entry from an American homemaker in 1933
