Answer:

D. sociological imagination

Step-by-step explanation:

sociological imagination refers to the way we see how personal experiences felt by certain individuals lead to a certain outcome.

This could be used in analyzing people's preference in music.

Let's use reggae music for example.

Even though we can't apply this to all reggae music, large majority of its rhythm tend to be really slow and relaxing and the lyrics that the reggae artists used tend to be revolved around maintaining peace and enjoying life.

With this very characteristics alone, people who have the desire or personality to maintain peace and enjoy life has the higher chance to develop strong preference to this genre of music compared to let's say teenagers who are in their rebellious phase.
