Answer: A. sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

In music, sampling is the reuse of a portion of a sound recording in another recording. Samples may comprise rhythm, melody, speech, sounds, or entire bars of music, especially from soul records, and may be layered, equalized, sped up or slowed. Sampling is a foundation of hip hop music, which emerged in the 1980s with producers sampling funk and soul records, particularly drum breaks, to be rapped over.
