I need help!!!

Read the excerpt from "What the Black Man Wants."

[W]hen any individual or combination of individuals undertakes to decide for any man when he shall work, where he shall work, at what he shall work, and for what he shall work, he or they practically reduce him to slavery. [Applause.] He is a slave. That I understand Gen. Banks to do—to determine for the so-called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. It is absolute slavery. It defeats the beneficent intention of the Government, if it has beneficent intentions, in regards to the freedom of our people.
How does Douglass appeal to the audience’s sense of logic in the excerpt?
A. by using his own personal experiences to gain their trust
B. by recounting emotional events to evoke sadness
C. by explaining the reasoning behind his argument
D. by describing how he plans to effect change in the US
