You didn't jumble the answers if you picked C. "Jambalaya" was first used for the popular Louisiana dish in the late 1800s. By the 1920s, it was being used figuratively to refer to a mixture of diverse elements, as in "a jambalaya of contrasting styles." The word originally comes from Occitan, a language spoken in southern France, and found its way into the French spoken in Louisiana. Other English words from Occitan are "ballad" (a kind of song), "casserole" (a dish in which food can be baked and served or the food that's cooked and served in this dish), and "viola" (an instrument that is similar to but larger than the violin)
