The correct answer is: Option C. Pathos by appeal to nightmare everyone can relate to.


In the case of the excerpt, the nightmare discussed refers to the Holocaust and having survived it and lived through the scars of the traumatic event.

Pathos is a greek word that refers to an experience in life and the emotions it involves, which logically applies in this case since the author means to evoke his feelings related to the event at hand.
