Answer:
America´s literary heritage
Explanation:
From the Colonial Period (17th century) and Early National Period to the Romantic Period (1830- 1870) to Realism and Naturalism (1870-1910) to the Modernist Period (1910-1945), they all contributed in some way or another to the Contemporary Period in literature, that reflected the social upheaval that acompanied the contemporary and all the other socio-political periods of America.

The core values (like the natural rights of people) do play a significant role but they don´t determine American literature.
America´s leadership or hegemony is a fact but it doesn´t make its literature consistent.

That only leaves A but it is not a very good answer.
