Correct answer: B. A, B and E only
Explanation
Tzara led Zurich Dada (1916). Apollinaire coined 'surréalisme' (1917), later taken up by Breton's Surrealism. Turgenev's Fathers and Sons (1862) popularised 'nihilism'. Marinetti founded Futurism (1909) and Breton Surrealism, so C and D swap them.
Note: Item B appears in the source as 'SuperRealism'.
