Explanation:

Pathos refers to an emotional appeal. A romantic story with a sad ending would evoke strong emotions like sadness and empathy in the reader, which is characteristic of pathos. A humorous story with a surprise ending (Option B) is more about humor and shock. An adventure story about a battle in space (Option C) is more action - oriented. A fantasy story about a magical unicorn (Option D) is more about the fantastical elements rather than deep - seated emotional appeal.
