Answer:

The correct answer is B. The New Frontier.

Step-by-step explanation:

New Frontier refers to the term used by the candidate of modern liberalism of the Democratic Party to the presidency John F. Kennedy in his acceptance speech in the United States presidential election in 1960 at the Democratic National Convention held in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the Democratic slogan.The phrase became a hallmark of national and foreign programs during his administration.

As he said, "We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier, the frontier of the 1960s, the frontier of unknown opportunities and perils, the frontier of unfilled hopes and unfilled threats. ... Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus".
