The correct answer is D) to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

Kennedy's purpose for using the phrase "the torch has been passed was to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

He referred to the "new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." These Americans had the responsibility to work for the benefit of the United States despite the difficult circumstances and threats. That is why he expressed the quote "do not ask what this country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
