Answer:

C. Appeals to reason

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three ways a speaker can appeal to an audience:

  • Appeal to logic (logos) - use of evidence and facts to support our claims.
  • Emotional appeal (pathos) - use of words to elicit emotions in the audience.
  • Ethical appeal (ethos) - appeal to the values of the audience.

Martin Luther King appeals to reason/logic by using scientific data (Through our scientific genius...). The given statement doesn't disprove an opposing claim, repeat important words, or quote a historical figure as these are King's own words.
