A purpose statement is described as a statement that primarily functions to define the topic and purpose of the speech or essay in a precise and compact manner. It reveals the key focus, direction, and objectives of the work that are going to be accomplished at the end.

It would assist in establishing the credibility of the claim and convince the audience logically. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
