Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Chanting is not specifically noted as an example of African American emphasis on verbal communication. While chanting can be a part of various cultures and traditions, it is not uniquely or predominantly associated with African American verbal traditions in the same way that capping (a form of verbal play and insult), rapping (a musical form that involves rhyming and rhythmic speech), and preaching (particularly in the context of the Black church) are.
