Answer:

C) It shows that she embraces all parts of her heritage by refusing to be classified as one in particular.

Explanation:

The speaker seems very sure that her identity is not simplified by her ancestors. She is part African, part Taíno, and part European, but it doesn't mean at all that she has to be either of those. She is who she is.
