Answer:

(D) They maintained cultural practices brought from Africa.

Explanation:

Their creation of culture allowed them to keep some form of their identity within an oppressive system. They did not have to physically fight or kill their masters in order to have a sense of freedom of their own. The will of the slave created their versions of food, music, religion and family.
