Answer:

D. All chickens peck at people in order to protect their entire

flock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emotional appeal is a logical fallacy, whereby a debater attempts to win an argument by trying to get an emotional reaction from the opponent and audience. By saying that chickens peck at people to protect flock, the author is trying to get you to feel for the chicken in order to get you to agree.

I hope this helps luvv :)
