Correct answer: D. A and B only

- B. A group of artists and writers who were deeply marked by the traumas of World War I
- C. Any American in self-exile in Europe to avoid fighting in World War I
- D. A and B only
Explanation
The Lost Generation broadly refers to American writers and artists disillusioned or deeply affected by World War I, including expatriates in Paris. Both the expatriate description in A and the wider war-trauma description in B are therefore intended, while C is too broad.
