Explanation:

Dr. King's opening statement ties his dream of racial equality to the core American value of equality for all, which is central to the American dream. Option A is incorrect because he explicitly says he still holds the dream, so he believes it can be real. Option B is not referenced in the first sentence. Option C is not addressed in this opening line; the focus is on alignment with American ideals, not difficulty of execution.

Answer:

D. King believes that the dream of racial equality aligns precisely with American values
