Answer:

B. It is important to go to the moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

On September 1962, President Kennedy conveyed a discourse imparting his objectives for the national space exertion before an enormous group in the football arena at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He pronounces the American idea that they were losing the "space race" against the Soviets so in the Congress he announced, with these words “this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.”
