Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you are trying to convince someone or a group of people about accepting your ideas or propositions, you have to be positive and show that your ideas will make their situation better. Options A, B and C are all negative statements about your our proposal, while option E shows doubt. When you present a plan, you must be convinced that your plan will work. How else could you convince another person if you aren't even convinced about it?
