An oral history dictated by an adolescent who fled the fire is the source that would best  help a historian understand how the Great Chicago Fire affected families. Option D is correct.

Historians may use primary source which consists on written or created source by a person who saw a historical event. Letters, diaries, speeches, and photographs are examples of primary sources. Artifacts such as tools are also primary sources. Other tools that historians use are secondary sources.
