The correct answer is A. The passage appeals to logos.
Explanation:
The appeal to logos focuses on supporting the author's point of view by using reasoning. This occurs in the excerpt presented because the author of this text uses reasoning or logical arguments to explain how the Declaration of independence includes all men no matter their race, religion, etc. This can be seen in "It does not say some men, but it says all men" that explain the author's main point, as well as, logical reasons such as "does not say all Protestants, but it says all men, which includes Catholics" because this argument is a conclusion that can be drawn using logic. This means the author relies on logic and reason, which makes this passage to use the appeal to logos.
The authors stand basically.
