"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."
Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.
Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.
Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.

The correct answer is He withholds the fact that the falling horseman is the father of the shooter.
Throughout the story, the author yields a slow-paced description of the scene settings as a means to visually guide the reader. Moreover, they throw in clues such as the watchman's hesitation to shoot the horseman, as if the glance of the latter over the direction of the watchman caused him to react in that manner. This act may initially confuse the reader, but it isn't until the story's end that the horseman's identity is revealed, and so the climax of the story is explained and the surprise factor kicks in the reader.
The rest of the options are not as impactful since:
The watchman's conversation with his father seems ordinary at first, given the father's reaction to his son's desire to join the regiment. The revelation of the horseman's identity explains many of the phrases of this conversation, such as the father addresing the son as a traitor, meaning that both of the would fight on separate sides of the war. This is more fulfilling to the reader, rather than surprising.
The horse didn't bolt off the cliff until the watchman fired, but if it did before the shot, it wouldn't have been impactful to the story at any rate - considering the main surprise at the end.
