Explanation:

Pathos is an appeal to the emotions. Option C directly appeals to the crowd's feelings (pride in being Romans) which is characteristic of pathos. Option A is more about addressing confusion (not directly emotional appeal). Option B is an appeal to ethos (credibility). Option D is an appeal to logos (common sense, logical choice between slavery and freedom).

Answer:

C. He appeals to the crowd's feelings and emotions by asking if they are proud to be Romans.
