Answer:

B (Rhythm and Blues)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhythm and Blues, or R & B was created to replace the term "race music" which was the phrase used to reference the music that African Americans made. After they realized it was more offensive, "race music" was replaced with "Rhythm and Blues," a phrase created by Jerry Wexler.
