Answer
A
logos only
B
pathos only
C
ethos and logos
D
logos and pathos

Explanation

The excerpt uses logos by making a cause-and-effect claim: when a man financially supports a woman, she may adapt herself to please him. It also uses pathos by describing women’s natural characteristics as “repressed and ignored,” language meant to make readers feel concern about their dependence. Together, these appeals make “logos and pathos” the best choice.
