Answer

Brief Explanations:

The author questions why Allied forces (Moscow, Washington) didn't act to stop the Holocaust - related atrocities (like bombing tracks or halting convoys), emphasizing that even small actions could have saved lives. This aligns with the idea that people (or countries) should take action when seeing injustice. The other options: avoiding confrontation is opposite to the author's implied call for action; neutrality to keep alliances is not supported (author is critical of inaction); blaming Moscow/Washington for the Holocaust is too extreme (author questions their inaction, not saying they caused the Holocaust).

Answer:

B. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice.
