a. they must work for economic success.
b. they should be led by the \talented tenth.\
c. they should move north to avoid lynching.
d. they must leave the united states and move to africa.

Explanation:

W. E. B. Du Bois proposed that African Americans should be led by the “talented tenth,” a group of well - educated, capable individuals who would guide the community in the fight for civil rights and social advancement. Option A was more associated with Booker T. Washington's emphasis on economic self - improvement first. Option C (moving north to avoid lynching) was a practical response to violence but not Du Bois's key idea. Option D (returning to Africa) was associated with the Back - to - Africa movement and figures like Marcus Garvey, not Du Bois.

Answer:

B. They should be led by the "talented tenth."
