The correct answer is A) Dedicate themselves to achieving victory in

the war.

Rather than merely dedicating a cemetery, Lincoln called upon his listeners to dedicate themselves to achieving victory in the war.

We are talking about the Gettysburg address of November 18, 1863, when US President Abraham Lincoln addressed a crowd of approximately 15,000 Americans that gathered at Gettysburg. Lincoln was attending a dedication cemetery ceremony when at the end of it he delivered his famous speech. He dedicated his speech to honor the lives of Union's soldier's died on the battlefield. He also encouraged his troops to dedicate themselves to achieving victory in the war.
