The correct answer is pathos.
This passage of the Declaration of Independence supports the pathos of the document.
Pathos is the emotional appeal and tries to persuade the public by appealing to their emotions.
That is clear in the excerpt of the passage of the Declaration of Independence when it says “He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.” With those words used in that part of the Declaration of Independence, the author tries to appeal to the emotion of the audience and generate a reaction. The author did not use logos or logic, reasons, he directly appealed to the emotions.
The other options of the question were b) theme, c) thesis, d) ethos.
