The correct answer is A) Claude Mckay.

During the Harlem Renaissance, Claude Mckay's poems were militant calls for action.

Claude Mckay was a Jamaican poet. In 1906, a man named Walter Jekyll encouraged to develop his writing skills and six years later helped him to publish his book "Songs of Jamaica," followed by "Constab Ballads." In 1914, he decided to move to New York, a better place to work in his poems. In 1928, he wrote "Home to Harlem." His poems were beautiful but also were militant calls for action.
