Answer:
D). Increase the wordiness of sentences.
Explanation:
'You-attitude' is demonstrated as the writing style that lays emphasis on considering the readers' interests and their viewpoints. In order to reflect this, the author uses the pronoun 'you' and 'your' to reflect this attitude.
As per the question, the revision for 'you-attitude' more often leads to 'increase the wordiness of the sentences' as the revision intends to make the sentences more specific(by constant use of 'you' and 'your') and intends to propose more information to the readers' more specifically and clearly keeping their(readers') perspective in mind. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

day." He paused for a moment, then turned and walked out.
