submit

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Corroboration isn't about the recency of the source, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Corroborating a source doesn't involve writing a secondary source from a primary one; that's more about creating secondary sources, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Corroborating a source means finding other sources to support the ideas in one source, which matches the definition of corroboration.
• Option D: Corroboration is about verifying, not discrediting, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. find additional sources to support ideas found in one source.
