Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Abstract Expressionism arose in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, significantly influenced by the emigration of European artists fleeing World War II, bringing with them the seeds of Surrealism and other avant-garde movements, which in turn influenced American artists to develop a new, distinctly American art movement.
