The direc object is a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb
Since the noun clause in this example is '(that) young people will respond to a challenge', the correct answer is DO, it is a direct object. Because believe is a transitive verb, and requires a direct object.

In which lines in this poem does the speaker compare her love to the pursuit of a social cause? Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

[I love thee to the level of every day’s ] Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. [I love thee freely, as men strive for right; ] I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
