The option that is the best example of someone using a rhetorical device is C. a parent who guilts his children into visiting him.

He is using pathos, which is appeal to emotion. He is appealing to his children's emotions to visit him, wanting them to feel guilty for not being with him more. Thus, his children will likely visit him so as to get rid of this guilt.
