Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze each choice:

• "How will he make them laugh?" focuses on entertainment, not audience aims for fundraising.
• "How much is he expected to donate..." is about his donation, not audience aims.
• "Can he use notecards?" is about his delivery method, not audience aims.
• "Why did they choose him to give the speech?" relates to understanding the audience's purpose (aim) in selecting him, as it connects to what they want from his speech (e.g., his story, influence) for the fundraising event.

Answer:

D. Why did they choose him to give the speech?
