Has anyone helped you with this answer? I have the same one and need help as well. 

The correct answer is C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.

Explanation:

When a speaker uses an emotional appeal he/she focuses on using words that will have an emotional impact on the audience or referring to situations that are related to emotions either positive or negative ones. This appeal can be seen in "It will be the greatest environmental tragedy" because it is likely the use of the words "greatest... tragedy" has an emotional impact on the audience considering these words are related to negative feelings such as regret, fear, and apprehension. As a result, this phrase causes the audience to feel in a certain way and believe the words of the speaker.
