Answer:

D. The war with Britain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention titled "Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death" a passionate and motivational speech demanding the thirteen colonies of America to be ready for a clash with Great Britain. His speech also warned of an impending war between the two nations and that America deserved to be free of any foreign power.

In his speech, he states that "we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on." The "storm" referred to here is the impending war with Great Britain, which Henry sees as a huge storm that will determine the future of America.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
