Explanation:

Ethos is an appeal to credibility/authority. The first option says the author provides authorization (from US Constitution/laws) to issue an order, establishing credibility (ethos). The second is pathos (emotional appeal), third is rhetorical device (not ethos), fourth is logos (using stats). So the first option matches ethos.

Answer:

He provides his authorization to issue an Executive Order to establish his credibility.
