A

Incorrect because it speaks more towards designing surveys than it does towards inherent issues with archival research itself.

B

Dependence on existing records may overlook perspectives not traditionally included in historical documentation.

C

D

Confirmatory bias that comes from only selecting sources that support pre-existing hypotheses.
