The correct answer is C) Harlem Renaissance.

After World War I, many African-American families moved to large cities (like New York) for job opportunities and freedoms. This wave of migration is known as the Great Migration.

When citizens arrived in these new cities, they had the opportunity to express their culture, music, and art more freely in comparison to the Southern states where Jim Crow laws still dominated most facets of life.

This helps to explain why this is known as the Harlem Renaissance, as this free expression and development of a unique African-American culture started in Harlem New York.
