B. As a dietician, I must stress that we should eat fewer carbohydrates.

Explanation:

The appeal of Logos is the word or message itself; of Pathos is the emotion, and Ethos is a way of persuasion that involves the character of the speaker, his or her reputation and "ethics', all this as a way of convincing the audience. An advice concerning what kind of food we should we eat is much more reliable if it comes from a dietician.
