Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Pathos is a way of persuasion that uses the emotion, which is used in the example of option C, when the speaker challanges the audience that is reluctant to pay taxes, by presenting them with a compeling image. In other words, comparing how one "feels" with someone that has a real need , and depend on the benefit that comes from the taxes. The force of this argument is in the emotion being evoked.
