Answer:

B. rock and roll

Step-by-step explanation:

Soldiers returned from World War II to an Oklahoma that was changing. They had seen the world in a new light and were now seeing new technologies they once used in the war being made available to civilians.

Even music changed with the advent of rock and roll. As evidence of its popularity, Elvis Presley made teenagers scream to “Jailhouse Rock,” while others “Rocked around the Clock” with Bill Haley and the Comets.

i just had an assignment with this question, hope this helps.
