D. If the food bank collects one hundred more cans, it will be fully stocked.

The correct answer is D. If the food bank collects one hundred more cans, it will be fully stocked.

Explanation:

Logos is a common rhetorical appeal that focuses on using logic to try to convince the audience something is true. This includes using facts, reasons logically connected, statistics or numerical data, among others. Moreover, this appeal avoids the use of language that evokes feelings as it occurs in the pathos appeal or language that shows the credibility of the author as it occurs in the ethos appeal.

From the options given, option D is the one that uses logos as a rhetorical appeal because this includes numerical data "If the food bank collects one hundred more cans" to prove something is true, and therefore the focus is logic or facts, which are related to the logos appeal.

Answer: D

Explanation: It is D because it doesn't appeal to credibility or emotions, rather a evidential and factual appeal.
