Answer 1

D. - to highlight the benefits of capitalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "kitchen debate" was a series of impromptu exchanges between US President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the opening of the American National Exhibition in Moscow in July 1959. The debate was held in a model American kitchen, and Nixon used the opportunity to promote the benefits of capitalism, particularly American technology and consumer goods, and to contrast them with the perceived shortcomings of the Soviet system.
