d. Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information

Explanation:

When we take the title of the speech into consideration - "Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected" - the best option of a thesis statement seems to be letter d. A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences with the purpose of informing the reader about the author's opinion and the subject of what will be read, as well as guide the author so that they won't lose focus.

Letter a would be a good option if it didn't mention "genetic information". That topic takes a very specific detour away from the subject of privacy. They can be related, but that is not what we expect after reading the title.

Letter b is not a statement at all. The question asked has the intention of making the reader curious, but does not state the author's opinion.

Letter c is not a thesis statement due to its length. It already develops the argument, which should be done in the speech or essay's body.

That leaves us with letter d. It's a one-sentence statement in which we find the author's opinion and which gives us an idea of what will be developed in the speech or essay.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
