(a) is used to persuade the audience by appealing to their sense of ethics and trustworthiness.
Answer explanation
Ethos (Greek for “character”), focuses attention on the writer's or speaker's trustworthiness. It can take one of two forms: “appeal to character” or “appeal to credibility.” A writer may show “ethos” through their tone, such as taking care to show more than one side of an issue before arguing for their side. They may also question the reader's morality towards an issue to persuade them.
