The correct answer is:

**A primary source is created by someone who witnessed the event, while a secondary source is created by someone who did not witness the event.**

Primary sources are original materials from the time of an event or created by individuals who experienced it, whereas secondary sources interpret, analyze, or summarize primary sources.
