Explanation:

A primary source is an original document or artifact from the time period being studied. A photograph of sharecroppers taken in 1901 is a direct, contemporary record of sharecroppers from that year. A biography (1993) about Ponce de León, a website (2020) about Florida’s first railroad, and a magazine article (2011) about the Seminole Wars are secondary sources as they analyze or interpret events after they occurred.

Answer:

a photograph of sharecroppers taken in 1901
