Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Great Migration brought jazz music to the North.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jazz is a musical style originating from the southern United States, mainly the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, where the African-American communities residing there developed this musical style as an expression of their community and their culture.

Thus, the Great African American Migration that took place in the decades that elapsed between the end of Reconstruction and the beginning of the Great Depression (that is, between the 1880s and the 1930s), in which millions of African Americans from the south of the country began to move towards northern cities, such as New York, Chicago or Detroit in search of greater freedoms and job opportunities, it in turn served as a catalyst for the expansion of jazz as a musical genre, which went from being a simply African-American and southern expression, to becoming in a genre with national popularity without distinction of race or social group.
