D. We both want to help the old people. We want to see that they do have adequate medical care.

Response “D” contains information that is irrelevant to the point Nixon was trying to make.   Before providing his information, he states, “Let us look at the record.”  What the word “record” tells us is that he will be discussing things that have already been done.  For responses “A,” “B,” and “C,” Nixon mentions accomplishments that have been done in the last seven/by the, then, present administration—all of these are relevant to his argument.  However, response “D” talks about what is wanted, not what has been done; thus, item “D” contains information that is irrelevant the Nixon’s argument.

D.We both want to help the old people. we want to see that they do have adequate medical care.
