Answer choice D.

A lacks quotation marks (" ") around what Franklin Delano Roosevelt is saying.

B has quotation marks around the wrong part of the sentence - it's around the descriptor instead of the comment.

C lacks quotation marks to separate the remark from the descriptor, then back to the remark.
