Answer: b is correct.

The New Negro Movement (Harlem Renaissance) encouraged Black artists to reclaim and explore African roots, draw on traditional African art and culture, and celebrate racial pride and identity. It did not urge turning away from past pain to embrace European culture; rather it resisted assimilation and promoted distinct Black artistic expression.
