The modern day controversy that best relates to Roosevelt's theme of "freedom from fear" is B. Military defense spending.

Explanation:

When Roosevelt uttered the theme of "freedom from fear", he was alluding to the worldwide reduction of armament to an extent in which no country was afraid of suffering an agression from other nation.
