The correct option is B.
Phylllis Wheatley was the first African-American published female poet. She originated from West Africa, she was captured and sold into slavery when she was about eight years old. She was transported to North America where she was bought by a family and was taught how to read and write. The family encouraged her to be her best when they discovered that she is a talented poet.
