B) Individualism over Society/Gov't

Answer 2

The answer is C, if you’re referring to American Romanticism.

American Romanticism entails characteristics of individuality, self-reliance and independence, integrity, and transcendentalism. Transcendentalism applies to Choice D. You can cross off B as an answer, because individuality is apart of Romanticism. Finally, all Romantic movements prefer imagination over reason, so that can be eliminated right away.
