Answer 1

Answer:

b. ...a stereotypical caricature of African-American culture for white audiences.  

Explanation:

         Minstrelsy is a minstrel show in America which was performed in the early 19th century. It was a source of entertainment for the American people in those times.

         Minstrel shows in America, for all its popularity and lighthearted humor, was an exploitative form of drama and musical theater which exaggerated the real-life circumstances and was supported by the dangerous stereotypes of the black African-Americans during the period of 19th and 20th centuries.

         Each show in the form of dance and music shows the stereotype view of the African-American culture to the whites.

Hence the correct option is -- (b)
