The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pathos element has been used in the following lines from the excerpt - “She tried to explain to them why none of them could go back to the plantation. If a runaway returned, he would turn traitor, the master and the overseer would force him to turn traitor.” The author uses pathos to describe about the Runaways.
