Explanation:

• Option 1: The comic strip is about Clara Barton's story, not just one exciting moment, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Clara Barton is known for creating the American Red Cross, and a story about her (titled "Angel of the Battlefield") would likely aim to inform readers about her role in creating the American Red Cross.
• Option 3: The focus is on Clara Barton, not uncovering secrets of the International Red Cross, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Clara Barton was a helper, and the purpose would not be to persuade readers not to help others, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. to inform readers about how Barton created the American Red Cross
