The correct answer is D. Analogical

Step-by-step explanation:

In arguments, there are different types of evidence or support that can be used, this includes anecdotal that relies on personal experiences or anecdotes; statistics that rely on numbers and percentages; testimonial that relies on the experience of others about certain event, products, etc and analogical that is about relating two subjects or applying the features of one subject into the other.

In the case of the text presented, the evidence can be classified as analogical because the author of this text compares the Olympic gymnastics age with the age of employees in the fast-food industry to prove different to gymnasts employees do not need to be young.
