The correct answer is D. Attempts to change people's attitudes, values, beliefs, or behavior.
Explanation:
Persuasion is the act of trying to convince someone or influence him/ her in order to change their beliefs or attitudes.
It tends to be gradual and the main goal is to change the individual's mindset so it <em>does not capitalize on the fears and dreams </em>of the audience. It <em>does not tend to be forced</em>, it can be understood as a sly form of ensuring change and it <em>does not aim to weaken beliefs</em>, it wants to change those.
Thus, it can be concluded that the correct answer is D.
