e. celebrated how the weak could outsmart the more powerful.

Explanation:

The Brer Rabbit stories of slave folklore have African origin, whose main character Uncle Remus is a trickster that possesses a large deal of intelligence and wit. As a result, he plays tricks, cheats and deceives others by making use of his mental sharpness and inventiveness rather than by physical strength.
