Documents that present persuasive recommendations to audiences, often involving investments or purchases are ________.

A) position papers
B) operating reports
C) proposals
D) due diligence reports

Proposals typically include persuasive recommendations to audiences, often involving investments or purchases. Position papers may present arguments and analysis of a particular issue, but they do not necessarily make specific recommendations. Operating reports provide information on the performance of a business or organization, but do not typically include recommendations for investments or purchases. Due diligence reports are typically prepared in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and focus on assessing the risks and opportunities associated with a particular transaction, rather than presenting recommendations to a broader audience.
