• D. Asked Americans to join him.

Answer: (A)

Kennedy’s New Frontier started as a proposal he put forward in his acceptance speech at the 1960 Democratic National Convention. In that moment he framed a new era of American progress and opportunity, presenting a vision for what he would pursue if elected. It wasn't yet a detailed policy package; it was a rallying idea meant to galvanize support. Over time that vision expanded into a broader reform agenda, but its origin in the speech is the key point.
