The correct answer is B.

In this speech, Teddy Roosevelt talks about how vital natural resources are to America's future. Along with this, he discusses how citizens are constantly wasting these materials, which may result in eventual extinction of these resources. This extinction would have a catastrophic impact on American society as a whole. This is why Roosevelt uses this speech as a means to provide statistics on how many resources we use and what steps we can start to take to turn around this pattern of wasting natural resources.
