A
My Country 'Tis Of Thee
💡 Explanation:
"My Country 'Tis Of Thee" is correct - Aretha Franklin performed this patriotic song at Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration ceremony. She delivered a powerful, memorable performance that became widely discussed. "This Land Is Your Land" is a Woody Guthrie folk song, "Hail To The Chief" is the presidential anthem typically played instrumentally, and "The Star Spangled Banner" is the national anthem (performed by others at the inauguration).
