Answer:

A. Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhetorical questions are asked without expecting an answer, and are persuasive techniques that are used to make a point. Brutus asks "Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?" This can touch to the emotions of the crowd and sway their opinion towards Brutus. Antony asks "I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?" This has the same effect as Brutus's question. It makes the crowd think, and sway their opinion.

Here's a photo of Edge incase you're doubtful.
