  Negro Spiritual
- B.
  
  Ragtime and Jazz
- C.
  
  Circus Music
- D.

D. Both A and B

Explanation
Both Negro Spiritual and Ragtime and Jazz are forms of musical diversion. Negro Spiritual is a genre of music that originated among African Americans during the time of slavery. It served as a means of expressing their emotions, hopes, and faith. Ragtime and Jazz, on the other hand, emerged in the early 20th century and became popular forms of entertainment. They provided a lively and energetic diversion from everyday life, with their syncopated rhythms and improvisation. Therefore, both A (Negro Spiritual) and B (Ragtime and Jazz) can be considered as forms of musical diversion.

Historically, this practice was used as a means to disenfranchise certain groups, such as African Americans, by making it difficult or impossible for them to afford the tax. By imposing this financial burden, poll taxes effectively restricted the voting rights of marginalized communities, treating them as second class citizens. This discriminatory practice was prevalent in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the southern states.

Lynching was a brutal and unjust method of vigilante justice that denied individuals their right to a fair trial and perpetuated racial inequality and violence.
