Answer:

B. Persuade.

Explanation:

All persuasive arguments, in order for them to be effective, must address a certain problematic that one wishes to change or through which one wishes to motivate somebody to acknowledge a certain position; for that reason, it must, at a certain degree, inform the other listener of the problematic at hand. However, one must be careful to properly distinguish between a mere informative or expository delivery and a persuasive one, like in this case, where, after presenting the problem at hand, the speaker turns to persuade the listener so that he or she would stop using plastic straws in order to reduce plastic waste.
