D. It inspires sacrifice by suggesting that making a sacrifice is an act of patriotism.  

For a country to achieve greatness, every part of the nation should maintain its concerted efforts in ensuring that their great nation and its military shall prevail over enemy forces. Through this speech, Roosevelt clearly delivers the message of ‘sacrifice’ for the greater good of the Nation. He believes that the greatness of the United States lies within its citizens, and the everyday sacrifices made for the cause of the greater good. By this ‘sacrifice’ the true patriot hidden within every citizen shall manifest themselves, and support and maintain the courage and morale of the countless military forces that are fighting and sacrificing their lives on behalf of the nation.  

Further Explanation:

The responsibility of citizens during the war can be categorized into different types, such as co-operation with the government, social and moral responsibility to the nation. War demands the utmost expression of patriotism from any citizen, and behind the achievements and victories of every nation, lies its great political leaders, military leaders, and overall its citizens. It is the duty of every citizen to serve the needs of the country, albeit at the price of sacrificing certain comforts. Through his speech, Roosevelt intends to invoke the moral responsibility of American citizens to understand and evaluate the needs of hundreds of military servicemen who have sacrificed their lives to protect the sovereignty of the nation. Thus, the citizens have a duty to ensure that all the survival requirements of the American troops fighting against the evil forces of fascism in various parts of the world should have access to ample resources of nutrition, clothing, medical equipment, arms supplies and shelter. So to ensure this, certain steps were required to be taken by the Government, which needed whole hearted support by the American citizens. These steps could be raising of taxes, food and petrol rationing, and deploying thousands of medical staff on the battlefield.
