Answer 2

D. Rhetorical question

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhetorical questions are asked without waiting for a specific response. Even sometimes they do not have a specific recipient. These types of interrogations are considered literary figures or expressive resources. The objective of these questions is that the person who listens to them reflects on a topic or adjust changes in their way of conducting themselves in life. Frequently they occur between authorities and subordinates.
