a. protect the rights of composers and songwriters
b. recommend music to artists
c. promote live music
d. distribute music

Explanation:

ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are performing rights organizations (PROs) in the United States. Their core function is to manage and enforce the public performance rights of composers, songwriters, and music publishers, collecting royalties on their behalf when their music is publicly performed (e.g., on radio, TV, in venues) and distributing those royalties to the rightsholders. The other options do not align with their primary purpose.

Answer:

A. protect the rights of composers and songwriters
