The phrase Freedom from want suggested that the great depression would not continue after war. Letter D.

Explanation:

The phrase is originally from the speech that Roosevelt delivered before the surprise Japanese attack on US forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He proposed four fundamental freedoms that people everywhere in hte world ought to enjoy: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, freedom from fear.

The speech was a justification for war and promoted Roosevelt's plan to become the arsenal fo democracy and support the allies with much needed supplies.
