The main idea here is identifying a presidential speech in which universal rights are laid out as Four Freedoms. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s work that does this is his 1941 State of the Union address, commonly described as the Four Freedoms speech. In that talk, he articulates four fundamental rights he believes should belong to people everywhere: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. These ideas were used to justify U.S. support for allies during World War II and to outline a vision for a postwar international order that would protect human rights.

The other options aren’t connected to Roosevelt or to the Four Freedoms. The Gospel of Wealth is a late 19th-century essay by Andrew Carnegie about philanthropy. New Freedom is a slogan associated with Woodrow Wilson. The Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic pledge created in the late 19th century.
