Explanation:

In the context of source classification (a topic in fields like research methodology, often linked to Social Science - Education or related subfields), a secondary source is defined as being one step removed from the original event or primary source (it interprets/analyzes primary sources). The option "one step removed" aligns with this definition. Other options: "two steps removed" is incorrect (tertiary sources are more removed), "secondary" is a tautology and not the descriptive definition, and "close" is inaccurate as secondary sources aren't "close" in the relevant sense.

Answer:

C. one step removed (assuming options are labeled A: two steps removed, B: secondary, C: one step removed, D: close; adjust label as per actual option numbering, but the correct text is "one step removed")
