The correct answer is A. James Dean, Elvis Presley, and Allen Ginsberg were all popular with youth in the 1950s. They represented the embrace of machismo by mainstream society, that is, the normalization of the theory that gave a dominant position to men in society, both within the family and in social and labor circles.

These three artists stood out for their praise of the male figure, to the detriment of the role of women in society. The fact that they have obtained great popularity shows that the society of the time was largely in agreement with what they transmitted.
