Not sure if you're given actual answer options but from what I can see, I can conclude that the answer should be auditory :) hope this helps!
Um...C? That's a weird question...
Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing his credability. Pathos is appealing to the reader by the author "pulling at the readers heart strings." This means he is illiciting emotions in the reader. Logos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing logic in his argument. These stratagies are used by all authors, not just historical fiction writers.
It's called a metaphor! :)
