Answer:

The correct answer is D. During the Great Migration, thousands of African Americans looking for economic opportunities moved from south to north.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Migration was the displacement of 1.75 million African-Americans from the southern states to those of the Midwest, North-West and West of America. It took place from 1915 to 1930. The estimate of the number of displaced persons varies according to the time frame used. African American migrants sought to escape racism and seek work in the thriving industrial cities.
