It refers to the "rebirth" of this location, where it would gain a positive connotation, instead of being associated with crime and poverty. A is incorrect because Harlem Renaissance mostly has to do with black authors, which Fitzgerald was not. B is incorrect because the term refers to exactly opposite of this. C is incorrect because the term doesn't have much to do with sports, but rather with culture and art.
