Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poetry Society of South Carolina was an organization that helped the southern literature to flourish in the whole of the Southern region. The society had its beginning with John Bennett of Ohio, who encouraged the use of local theme and lores in writings.

The Southern Literary Renaissance was born out of the Poetry Society of South Carolina. The society contributed in the the movement by depicting a favorable view of South. After the Civil War, Baltimore journalists Henry Mencken, in his essay, ridiculed South and created a bad image of the South. Therefore, the society helped to create a favorable view of the South.

Thus option B is correct.
