The best option to likely follow the passage would be B: explain that artists today are proud to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." This choice connects directly to the theme of the national anthem and its significance, which might be relevant to a discussion about its historical importance or cultural resonance today. The other options, while related to the War of 1812, do not as directly tie into the contemporary relevance of the anthem itself.
