The correct answer is D. In his famous speech "I have a dream", Martin Luther King Jr uses pathos as a means to appeal to his audience. Pathos is defined as a quality which evokes pity, or sadness. In the second paragraph of his speech, Martin Luther King uses clear examples by which he illustrates how black people are still not free from oppression, even after the law granted them emancipation.
