Answer:

D. As long as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled with anguish and shame.

Step-by-step explanation:

This acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize was given in 1986 by Elie Wiesel. By saying that the quality of our freedom depends on theirs, Elie Wiesel was here denoting an inter-dependence.

The quote in option D accurately describes this relationship. When even one child was hungry, the lives of the privileged people would be filled with anguish and shame. This, therefore, shows that the quality of their freedom was dependent on those of the victims'.
