Explanation:

Operation Overlord was the Allied D-Day invasion of Normandy, France in World War II. Its core goal was to establish a Western front and push German occupying forces out of France, opening a path toward Germany. The other options refer to separate Allied operations: freeing Italy was related to the Italian Campaign, attacks behind German lines in the North do not match the Normandy focus, and driving Germans from Russia was the Eastern Front (Soviet-led operations).

Answer:

to drive the German forces from France
