Answer 1

A) Ethos and credibility

Step-by-step explanation:

Just wanted to correct the comment on the other answer; I chose B and it was incorrect. Here's the answer explanation from the test:

Ethos and credibility. This is because the audience is more likely to trust the words of somebody reliable and credible over somebody who has no experience.
