If I knew the time period I could better answer your question but from what you have provided I would say that the correct answer is A or C. I hope this helps. :)
The best answer is A. It was a time of cultural changes..
The ten years between 1919 and the onset of the Great Depression at the end of 1929 encompassed a period of unprecedented economic prosperity and cultural experimentation as well as political conservatism and religious fundamentalism. Having experienced the constraints of wartime, many Americans feverishly pursued personal pleasures. The new and unusual clashed openly with the conventional and the commonplace. Modernists and traditionalists waged cultural warfare with one another, one group looking to the future for inspiration and the other looking to the past for guidance.
