Answer: A. pathos

Pathos refers to an emotional appeal used by an author in order to invoke a sentimental response from his audience. It is one of the three main modes of persuasion (along with ethos and logos).

In this sentence, the author is trying to convey a feeling of gratitude and appreciation in order to persuade the reader of the importance of Ms Navarro.
