The correct answer is C. A way of life that centered around the automobile
Step-by-step explanation:
At the beginning of the 20th century and as a result of the creation of Ford Model T by Henry Ford in the U.S. cars became affordable for almost all the population and because of this cars became an important trend all around the country. But making cars available did not only imply everyone wanted to buy an automobile, but an important influence on the culture and the society which was called the "car culture" or "American automobile culture", indeed during the 1950s life focused around this new phenomenon that included an influence on design, economy, industry, music and even in people lifestyle and women rights. Therefore, it can be concluded the "car culture" of the 1950s was basically a way of life that centered around the automobile.
