Solution
The correct option is A Logos The way of persuading an audience using facts and figures or logical reasons is called Logos. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
Whereas option A, Ethos or the ethical appeal means to convince an audience of the author's credibility or character, option B pathos means to be an appealing figure to the reader's emotion to make them convince of something, and option D is revealed in the ethos itself. Therefore these are incorrect answers.
