This question is incomplete because the passage of Sotomayor is missing; here is the passage to answer to question:

Read the excerpt from "A Latina Judge's Voice" by Hon. Sonia Sotomayor. I also hope that by raising the question today of what difference having more Latinos and Latinas on the bench will make will start your own evaluation. For people of color and women lawyers, what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering? For men lawyers, what areas in your experiences and attitudes do you need to work on to make you capable of reaching those great moments of enlightenment which other men in different circumstances have been able to reach? For all of us, how do [we] change the facts that in every task force study of gender and race bias in the courts, women and people of color, lawyers and judges alike, report in significantly higher percentages than white men that their gender and race has shaped their careers, from hiring, retention to promotion, and that a statistically significant number of women and minority lawyers and judges, both alike, have experienced bias in the courtroom?

The correct answer to this question is D. Sotomayor wants the audience to pose serious questions of their own about diversity on the bench.

Explanation:

In the passage, the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor focuses on questioning the lack of diversity on the bench or in courts. Moreover, in this passage Sotomayor indirectly proposes more diversity from Latinos and other minorities is needed as this would lead to a representation of different groups in society.

Besides this, the technique used by the author is to pose three complex questions such as "what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering?" that are intended to explain the purpose of the author by making the audience create own questions about diversity and conclude the need of diversity in the bench. This is also expressed in "I also hope that by raising the question today... will start your own evaluation". Thus, the purpose of the question is to make the audience create own questions about diversity.
