Final answer:
Harry Belafonte instigated the project 'USA for Africa,' which included the song 'We Are the World,' raising $100 million for African famine relief in the mid-1980s. Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The project instigated by Harry Belafonte to raise money for African famine relief was USA for Africa.
This music project, most famous for its song We Are the World, brought together dozens of celebrities and musicians in the mid-1980s. Their efforts included recording an album and performing in concerts, which ultimately raised $100 million for famine relief.
While other initiatives such as Live Aid and Band Aid were also significant in raising awareness and funds for the cause, it was USA for Africa that Belafonte was directly involved in.
Despite the success in fundraising, many people were unaware of the political complexities behind the famine, believing it to be the result of a natural disaster rather than bad governmental policies and conflict.
So Option B is correct.
