The correct answer is A. The need to fight and win the war against Germany
In his speech, Stalin emphasizes the grave danger that the USSR is facing due to the German invasion of Soviet land. He posits the need to fight and win as a supreme need for survival, as a struggle of life or death for the Soviet people and the Soviet nation. He also stresses the immense power of the enemy, the hideous atrocities he would commit to the Soviet people, and the consequent strong answer that it must be delivered by the Red Army and the Soviet nation as a whole in order to destroy the German army.
