a
Contemporary Haitian social ███████ ████ █ ██████ █████████ █████████ ██ ███ █████████ ████ ████ █████ ███████ ███ ██████ ████████
These customs being different from their origins renders (A) disanalogous. Porter’s research revealed similarities.

Wrong direction. (B) would be analogous had Porter's research revealed that the household items created by African-American craftsmen influenced something in West Africa.
c
Many novels written ██ ██████ ██ ███████ ██████████ ███████ █████████ ██████ ████ ███████ ██ █████ █████ ██ ███████ ██████████
Analogous. Chinese immigrant novels are analogous to African-American household items. Narrative themes in Chinese folktales are analogous to West African iconography.

Disanalogous. Should have talked about how Indian food in England can trace something back to food in India.

Disanalogous. Should have talked about how Mexican muralists can trace something back to art in Spain.
