The answer is: d. Langston Hughes

The title of the play by Lorraine Hansberry "A Raisin in the Sun" was inspired by the poem "Harlem," written by Langston Hughes. In that respect, Hughes' composition asks: "What happens to a dream deferred?/ Does it dry up/ like a raisin in the sun?" Although the play does not illustrate a raising in the sun, it does feature numerous dreams deferred or postponed, and a frustrated one at the end.
