Answer:

The correct answer is D. Maynard Jackson didn't bring the 1988 Democratic National Convention to Atlanta, as he wasn't in office at that time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maynard Jackson was an American politician member of the Democratic Party; he was the 54th and first African-American mayor of Atlanta, Georgia.

He was twice mayor of Atlanta, from 1974 to 1982 and 1990 to 1994. He died of a heart attack in 2003 and he was buried at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Shortly after his death, his name was added to the city's international airport, which he helped modernize, now known as the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
