Answer:

C). War must be avoided in all circumstances.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 34th US president Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address highlights the impending dangers associated with the development of 'military-industrial complex.'

In context to the question, Eisenhower concludes his speech by saying that 'I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is i sight' which clearly reflect his idea of 'avoiding war in any situation' as he desired to have peace and prosperity in his nation and 'aims increasingly for an easy life.' He aims to aware the people about the grave impending consequences brought by war which includes their 'toil, livelihood, resources' as he aimed to 'let the democracy survive for generations to come.' Thus, option C is the correct answer.
