To determine which detail supports the answer to Part A (implied to be about Raphael Lemkin's dedication to establishing genocide as an international crime), we analyze each option:
- Option A describes general familiarity with genocide, not Lemkin's efforts.
- Option B focuses on his personal motivation but not his active work to create the crime classification.
- Option C explains how a documentary tells his story, not his direct actions to achieve his goal.
- Option D explicitly states that Lemkin continued his cause after existing crimes were insufficient, and lobbied UN leaders to make genocide an international crime, directly supporting the core of his life's work.
