Explanation:

The excerpt states that after defeating Nazi tyranny, Roosevelt and Churchill want a peace that lets all nations live safely within their borders, and all people live free from fear and want. The first option matches this full scope of peace and freedom for all nations' people, while others are too narrow (focus only on destroying Nazis, invaded nations, or most European nations instead of all nations/people).

Answer:

A. Roosevelt and Churchill are aiming to bring peace and freedom to the people of all nations.
