Answer:
D. Object of the statement.
Explanation:
An infinitive phrase includes the infinitive(a basic form of the verb) followed by an object. They may function as a noun, adverb or adjective. In the given excerpt from the "Preamble of US Constitution" also, the infinitive phrase "to form a more perfect union" introduces the object(a more perfect union) of the statement as it is an entity on which the subject("We the people of United States") acts upon. It symbolizes the object that is directly affected by the subject. Thus, the infinitive phrase exemplifies the object of the statement.
