Answer 1

I think it's B, could be wrong.

Answer 2

B is the correct answer. Blues, when it was first being created, was mainly used in the fiields by African workers. In addition, it had a distinct call-and-response form that was integral to its formation. The style has roots back to the late 19th century, but didn't pick up steam with a wider audience until after WWII.
