Explanation:

The passage does not provide any information about the author's thoughts on the helpfulness, distractibility, reliability, or forth - comingness of the sources. There is no mention of admiration for their jobs either. However, since there is no indication of positive or negative interaction with sources in terms of helpfulness etc., we can assume that the lack of information about cooperation implies some were not forthcoming.

Answer:

C. Some of them were not forthcoming with her.
