b. Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa.
c. Lester Young and Charlie Christian.
d. Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C) Lester Young and Charlie Christian.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bebop is a style of Jazz developed in United States during the early to middle 1940's.

Charlie Christian was the first great known electric guitar to perform a bebop solo, performing even with a single note and shaping uncommon intervals between lines and conceiving astonishing accents.

Lester Young was one of the most influential saxophonists in the history of Jazz, introducing a style of his own improvising through rhythmic and swinging melodies. He even was a huge early influence to many other soloists as Charlie Parker.
