Explanation

Black feminism emerged because Black women experienced oppression shaped by race, gender, and class at the same time. Its central motivation was to address how these forms of inequality intersect, rather than focus only on wealthy Black women or celebrate gains made by other movements. Therefore, the best answer is A, to address the interconnectedness of race, gender, and class oppression.
