Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question asked not to get an answer but to make a point or for rhetorical effect. The quote starts with "Why do most people choose to vacation in the mountains?" and then provides an explanation, which fits the definition of a rhetorical question. An emotional appeal (A) is about evoking emotions, allusion (B) refers to referencing something, and metaphor (C) is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things directly, none of which apply here.

D. rhetorical question
