Explanation:

The word "polyrhythmic" has the root "poly -" from Greek "polýs" meaning "many, much". The suffix "-rhythmic" relates to rhythm. So combining the root and the suffix, "polyrhythmic" should mean related to multiple rhythms. Option A is about strong beats, B about loud style, D about fast beats, none of which relate to "many" as the root suggests. Only option C matches the meaning from the root word.

Answer:

C. Of multiple rhythms
