Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. He successfully led America through the Great Depression and World War II. Franklin was diagnosed with infantile paralysis in 1921 when he was 39 years old.

Despite being physically crippled, he reinforced America with confidence and strength.
