Read carefully, and re-think.

Is it D?

The question asks about how the music spread across the COUNTRY, not around the world.

No more guessing .... READ the article.

I did read the article...

Is it C then?

I agree.

Ok, thank you.

YW!

B is the correct answer. In the scenario described, grunge most likely spread across the country by people moving away from Washington and carrying the music with them. As they relocated to different areas, they shared the music with others, which helped popularize the genre. This is a common way for regional music scenes to gain national success, as fans and enthusiasts spread their favorite music to new locations.
