Answer 1

Option B, slaves working on plantations, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Born on 21st October 1925, in Havana, Cuba, Celia Cruz was known as the Queen of Salsa. She left Cuba in the year 1960 and later decided to settle in the U.S. She coined the term Salsa and received respect from the players and fans. Her exhibition is called "Azucar, the Life and Music of Celia Cruz." Though the literary meaning of the term Azucar is sugar, as Perez perceives, it helped Cruz as a "battle cry". According to him, it was a reference to African slaves who served the sugar plantations of Cuba.
