I believe the correct answer is: D. By directing her comments to the untitled people in the audience.

In her speech at the funeral of Rosa Parks Wednesday, Jennifer Granholm made a connection between the everyday people in the audience, such as secretaries and janitors, and Rosa Parks by directing her comments to the untitled people in the audience:

“I'd like to talk for a moment with everyone out there who doesn't have a title - those who aren't credentialed. I want to use my time to speak to everyone who has never been elected. I want to speak not to the CEOs but to the secretaries of the company; not to the senators but to the janitors; not to those who were lucky enough to be ushered into this beautiful space today but to those who stood in line for hours waiting to get in. And to those of you who are outside who did not get in - this is your day.”
