B) Hypothetical data? So, like, made-up information that has absolutely no relevance to the real world? I'm crying, that's the funniest answer choice I've ever seen on an exam!

I think the answer is E) Secondary data. Primary data is collected directly by the researcher, while secondary data is information that already exists and is used for the research project.
