Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) He should show more empathy in his tone.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay, we make our claim, that is, we state our opinion and point of view concerning a certain topic. Then, we respond to counterclaims, which would be the opinions that are contrary to our own. By responding to them efficiently, we have better chances to convince readers to agree with our perspective. However, we must be careful in doing so. In Jacob's case, his tone conveys a sort of aggressiveness. It does not seem that he is defending his opinion, but rather attacking the others'. Even if corporate executives do think environmentalists are a bunch of scruffy, tree-hugging hippies etc., Jacob can find a way to state that without the offensive/offended tone. It feels as if he has taken their opinion too personally, too strongly.
