Option D.

Explanation:

Jazz combined four African American musical traditions, is the right answer.

The Harlem Renaissance was a rational, cultural, and aesthetic burst concentrated in Harlem, New York covering the decade of the 1920s. This Renaissance was most popularly known as the "New Negro Movement" following the edition of  The New Negro, an anthology published by Alain Locke. This Renaissance provides a platform for experiences of African Americans and in particular, Jazz gave them a better expression. Jazz emerged from slave practice songs, spirituals, blues, brass band song, and music. Jazz was closely associated with legal and social equality for all, especially African Americans. In short, Jazz combined four African American artistic beliefs.
