• A. Mama says this to Walter Lee.
• B. Walter says this to Mama.
• C. Beneatha says this to Walter.
• D. Ruth says this to Walter Lee.

Answer: (A)

The line shows a mother speaking to her son, conveying unwavering trust and love. That maternal voice fits Mama (Lena Younger) addressing Walter Lee Younger, reaffirming faith in him and in their family’s future. The tone is warm, forgiving, and encouraging, which matches Mama’s established role in the play as the steady, hopeful center of the family. The other possibilities don’t align with that combination of unconditional love and trust coming from a mother to her son in this moment.
