The correct option is C

In this speech, Churchill had to describe a major military disaster and warn of a possible invasion attempt by the Nazis, without questioning the eventual victory. He also wished to reiterate a policy and an unchanged objective - despite the intermediate events - of his speech on May 13, in which he had declared the goal of "victory, no matter how long and difficult the road".
