b. In some cases, you need to express a wish or desire.
Explanation: the subjunctive is used for wishes, desires, doubts, hypothetical or unreal situations, requests/suggestions, and other non‑factual or non‑definitive attitudes. Options a and d describe some uses, but b best captures a central reason for using the subjunctive; c describes the indicative, not the subjunctive.
