The correct answer is D, Brazil

Step-by-step explanation

Capoeira is a martial art developed in Brazil by African slaves in the colonial time, one of the theories of its origin, affirms that it was a way of the slaves to disguise the training to fight, through the combination of struggle and dance. After the abolition of slavery, Capoeira, being a slave practice, was persecuted for a long time until the beginning of the 20th century when, in 1937, President GertĂșlio Vargas declared it a national sport after seeing a presentation by Mestre Bimba and his students. So, the correct answer is D. Brazil.
