What evidence from the text best represents the central point of Wiesel's Nobel Prize acceptance speech?
O A. For I belong to a traumatized generation, one that experienced the
abandonment and solitude of our people.
OB. I remember he asked his father: "Can this be true? This is the
twentieth century, not the Middle Ages. Who would allow such
crimes to be committed?"
O C. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race,
religion, or political views, that place must at that moment
become the center of the universe.
D. And I tell him that I have tried. That I have tried to keep memory
alive, that I have tried to fight those who would forget.

O C. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race,  religion, or political views, that place must at that moment  become the center of the universe.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel was a Romanian author who survived the Holocaust and wrote about it in detail in his memoir Night. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for his contribution towards spreading awareness in his own struggle to comet o terms with his experiences in the concentration camps.

In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, he recounts how he has tried to come to terms with the young Jewish boy he was before the genocide that changed his perception of life forever. He also boldly stated, "never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation". And in this fight for the rights of anyone irrespective of class, race, religion, and political feelings, implored on the world to "take sides" for in doing so, it means we have the courage to stand up for something rather than just be insensitive about it and remain neutral, which "helps the oppressor, never the victim".  And that will make the case of discrimination take center stage and be the main point of focus for remedy.

Thus, the text that best represents the central point of the speech is option C.
