In the following conversation, which discussion technique does Anna most clearly show?

RAMONA:
Anna, where does the theme seem to change?

ANNA:
According the article: "The fault lies with the FDA's inability to release enough information in order to regain the public's trust. But perhaps Japan is to blame as well. Although there are plans to remove the spent nuclear fuel rods and build a permafrost wall around the four damaged reactors, is this really enough to recover damaged trust?" And then Sato goes on to explain this statement.

In this conversation, Ana explains certain public confidence, in which she does not ask any questions to substantiate her claim, the fourth option offered is excluded. She does not deny the existing ideas, because she only lists the facts in the article, which excludes the first option. She does not synthesize all the existing claims, since she alleges all the claims and possibilities with the same probability, and the third option is excluded. Anna simply lists all the evidence to support the claims and conclusions,

The answer is: B.
