The correct answer is D) the Beatnik and counterculture movements.

Criticisms of conformity and materialism in American society in the 1950s resulted in the Beatnik and counterculture movements.

In the 1950s and part of the 1960s, many counterculture movements appeared in the United States. They criticized the materialistic society and excessive emphasis on consumerism. The Beat Generation and the Hippies had revolutionary concepts that included sexual libertinage, supported the consumption of some drugs, followed spiritual teachers from India, and accepted rock & roll music as a way to express their unconformity.
