What do the wooden benches, hand-carved butter churn, dasher, and quilts
represent for Dee when she returns home to visit?

D. They represent her heritage and cultural identity.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Everyday Use," written by Alice Walker. The story centers on the life of an African-American mother (Mama) and her two daughters, Dee and Maggie. Unlike Maggie, Dee was thirsty for knowledge and was brimming with confidence. This is the reason why she became an advocate of "Black Nationalism." This was a political thought that promoted the identity of the black people and resisted the assimilation of black communities into the white culture.

When Dee returns home, she begins noticing the different items that surrounded the house. By this time, she has already changed her name into "Wangero." She wanted to take some of the items in the house so she can include them in her heritage collection. For Dee, these items represented her heritage and cultural identity. For example, Dee took the "quilt" out and thought about its artistic touches for decoration. She demanded to take it away, but Mama suddenly realized that, after all, Dee didn't really truly appreciate the African-American culture and tradition.

So, this explains the answer.
