The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men. Originally for young men ages 18–25, it was eventually expanded to ages 17–28.
The Works Progress Administration (WPA), which was renamed in 1939, as The Works Projects Administration was the largest and most ambitious American New Deal agency, employing millions of people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was envisioned not only as a provider, but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and electricity to more quickly modernize the region's economy and society.
The correct answer to this question is letter B, since the overall goal of New Deal legislation such as the CCC, WPA and TVA was to create jobs for Americans.

The right answer is C. W.E.B. Du Bois.
The Harlem Renaissance was an art movement in the 1920s that focused on African-American art. It was centered around the Harlem neighbourhood in NYC, hence the name.
Let's look at all the answers:
A. - F. Scott Fitzgerard was also active around that time, but he was part of another movement, the "Lost Generation" of people who came to age during World War I, and were traumatised by it.
B. H.L. Mencken was in fact a racist, so he could not form part of a movement centered around African-American art.
C. W.E.B. Du Bois was a civil rights activist, and in fact published and edited a lot of articles supporting and encouraring the Harlem Renaissance. This is the correct anwer.
D. Claude McKay creates a potential confusion here, as he also participated in the Harlem Renaissance, most notably with his book "Home to Harlem" in 1928. However, answer C is more fitting, as McKay mostly focused on literary work, and not an activist, as Du Bois was.
All of these organizations sought to protect organized labor after the industrialization of America had led to dangerous working conditions for many workers. They were mostly succesfull, in at least bringing attention to these issues.
