I would say D based on the definition of  euphemism. I'm not completely sure, however.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. The audience is not receptive to the speaker's point of view.

Explanation:

A euphemism is a word or idiomatic expression that is mild, indirect or polite, used to substitute another word considered more offensive, vulgar, blunt, unpleasant or impolite. So, when a speaker wants to convey an idea that may seem unpleasant to the general public, he or she is most likely to use a euphemism so that the audience be more receptive to his or her point of view.

Some examples of euphemisms are when we say "He bit the dust" instead of "he died,"  or "The company has a negative cash flow" instead of "It's broke."
