Explanation:

To support the claim of Eisenhower's military capabilities, actual military - related achievements are the best evidence. Option D mentions his role as a victorious commanding general in World War II and his negotiation of a peace treaty to end the Korean War, which are strong demonstrations of his military prowess. Option A only speaks of early potential, Option B is about desegregation during his presidency (not directly military - capability related), and Option C is about a warning on military spending.

Answer:

D. "Eisenhower not only served as a victorious commanding general in Europe during World War II; he also negotiated a peace treaty along South Korea's border, bringing an end to the Korean War."
