Solution :

The correct answer is C, D, E Only.

The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual, social, and artistic movement centered in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, during the 1920s and 1930s. It served as a critical turning point in African American literature and culture. The writers from the list who were key figures of this movement are:
- Alain Locke (C): Widely regarded as the "Father of the Harlem Renaissance," Locke was a philosopher, educator, and writer. His publication of the anthology The New Negro in 1925 is considered one of the defining texts of the movement.
- Langston Hughes (D): One of the most celebrated poets and writers of the era, Hughes was a pioneer of jazz poetry and captured the triumphs and struggles of working-class African American life in his work.
- Zora Neale Hurston (E): A prominent novelist and anthropologist, Hurston made monumental contributions to the movement by capturing the folklore and voices of the rural South, most famously in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Why the other options are incorrect:
- Leslie Janison (A) is not an author associated with the Harlem Renaissance.
- Stephan King (B) (likely referring to Stephen King) is a contemporary American author of horror and supernatural fiction who began publishing in the late 20th century, decades after the Harlem Renaissance concluded.
