Explanation:

• Option A: The parallelism here isn't mainly about encouraging visits, as the repeated "Let them come to Berlin" is a response to different opinions, not just inviting visits.
• Option B: Kennedy uses the parallel structure of stating different opposing opinions and then repeating "Let them come to Berlin" (and a German equivalent) to systematically counter those opinions. The organized repetition helps structure his response to opposing views.
• Option C: Parallelism in this case doesn't focus on highlighting credibility; it's more about addressing arguments, not building trust through credibility.
• Option D: The parallelism isn't about evoking compassion from Berliners; it's about responding to various viewpoints on Communism and the free/Communist world divide.
