Answer:

The correct answer is "D".

Step-by-step explanation:

The way in which services have been done in African-American churches has changed over time. It is known that after the Civil War, different forms emerged in the congregations that include elements of African rituals (instruments and songs) and the emotional dimension of the slavery experience. Typically, the African-American community showed their devotion through singing. Even if there was a formal choir, all the members of the congregation were expected to participate.
