d. Peking opera was a fusion of ancient and modern opera forms

Explanation:

The dramatic art form known as Beijing opera—or Peking opera—has been a staple of Chinese entertainment for more than two centuries. It was founded in 1790 when the "Four Great Anhui Troupes" went to Beijing to perform for the Imperial Court.

Some 40 years later, well-known opera troupes from Hubei joined the Anhui performers, melding their regional styles. Both the Hubei and Anhui opera troupes used two primary melodies adapted from the Shanxi musical tradition: "Xipi" and "Erhuang." From this amalgam of local styles, the new Peking or Beijing opera developed.
