3. - (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

'Pathos', 'ethos', and 'logos' are the constituents of Aristotle's 'modes of persuasion' for the readers. These are often treated as the "Persuasive techniques" to convey the message more effectively.

'Pathos' stands for the persuasive technique used to persuade the reader with the usage of strong emotional argument. This statement is justified in option C as it is an impassioned plea to visit Colorado to free the mind.

'Ethos' refers to the convincing via the authority which is introduced in the second option i.e. the famous snowboarder Shawn White.

'Logos' is associated with the logic and facts and that would be justified (here) only when the visitor himself experiences Colorado.
