Explanation

Kennedy repeats “Let them come to Berlin” to challenge people who might praise communism without experiencing life under it. The phrase invites them to see for themselves the hardships Berliners face, reinforcing his message that people who have not lived under communism cannot fully understand its effects. The other choices suggest shared views or agreements that do not match Kennedy’s point.
