Explanation:

Aristotle's four proofs include ethos (credibility), pathos (emotion), logos (logic), and mythos (cultural narratives). Esteban's admiration for Neil deGrasse Tyson (a credible figure in science) and his desire to follow in Tyson's footsteps (credibility - ethos) as he spreads scientific knowledge (like Tyson did) aligns with ethos. Ethos is about the character and credibility of the speaker/role - model.

Answer:

A. ethos
