Explanation:

When we want to use someone else's ideas or explain them without incurring in plagiarism, we can either quote or paraphrase those ideas. Quoting means using part of the original text or speech in our explanation while paraphrasing means employing our own words to explain the original text or speech. In both cases, the author of the original work must be duly mentioned, otherwise it is still considered plagiarism.

Among the options provided for our choosing, the best one is letter D. It uses both, a bit of paraphrasing and a bit of quoting, and it mentions who originally said those words or expressed those ideas. On the other hand, options A, B, and C change the ideas presented by Lincoln. Option B goes to the point of changing the original "who shall have borne the battle" to "who were born in battle" when it should be quoting the original words precisely. Option D not only explains Lincoln's point of view with accuracy, but it also remains faithful to the original speech when quoting. Therefore, it is the best option.
