Solution

Lincoln encourages the audience to feel responsibility toward the fallen soldiers in the Gettysburg Address by saying that it is not up to him to "hallow this ground" at Gettysburg. This statement implies that it is the responsibility of the audience, and the nation as a whole, to honor the soldiers who have fallen. This can be seen as a call to action, encouraging the audience to take up the cause for which these soldiers gave their lives. So, the correct answer is D. He says that it is not up to him to "hallow this ground" at Gettysburg.
