B Correct answer
Explanation

The vuvuzela is the plastic horn that became infamous during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa for its loud, droning sound. While Freddie Maake claims to have invented it in the 1960s, this origin is disputed. The instrument was indeed mass-produced by Masincedane Sport and became a cultural symbol. Mbira, ngoma, and djembe are traditional African instruments but not vuvuzelas.
