Explanation:

Logos is an appeal to logic and reason, often using facts and data. In the excerpt, Churchill provides specific information about the troops ("best - trained and our finest troops", "over a million and a quarter men") which are factual details. Ethos is an appeal to credibility (e.g., the speaker's authority). Pathos is an appeal to emotion. Kairos is an appeal to timeliness. Since the text uses factual data, it is logos.

Answer:

A. Logos
