B. Caesar's stab wounds.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus who loved his friend and King Caesar but still killed him.

Antony had offered the throne to Caesar which Brutus thinks Caesar will definitely take. But with the new found power, he also thinks that it will be the ruin of everyone, including Caesar himself. So, he along with Cassius conspired to kill him before he takes the crown. After Brutus and Cassius had killed Caesar, Antony showed the stab wounds of Caesar to the people. This made them angry which, they should rightly be. Brutus loved the king but still participated in the murder for he thinks that more power will ruin Caesar. His love for the nation far exceeds his love for the ruler, like he had rightly said so to the people, "not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." (Act 3 scene II)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
