Which line in the excerpt from Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon reflects the idea of pursuing one's dreams?

A) ROBERT: You'll have to, to understand. Well, in those days, when Ma was fixing meals, she used to get me out of the way by pushing my chair to the west window and telling me to look out and be quiet. That wasn't hard. I guess I was always quiet. RUTH: (compassionately) Yes, you always were—and you suffering so much, too!

B) ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to wonder what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind.

C) (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It called to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea.

D) And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.

D) And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.

Explanation:

O'Neill describes what his dream was as a young boy: to be able to reach the sea because even if it wasn't far away, it was out of his reach. He even made a promise to himself that he would grow up to find his way to the sea. When he recounts his present trip as the way he found to honor that promise, it is an example of the importance of pursuing one's dreams.
