Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
By addressing possible concerns that the audience might have, you demonstrate that you have thought about their perspective and have taken into consideration their needs and objections. This can help to build trust and create a more receptive audience. Using a hard-sell approach and emphasizing potential problems can actually increase resistance, as it can come across as pushy and scare tactics. Emphasizing consequences can be effective, but may also create a negative tone. Identifying areas where competitors fall short can be helpful, but should be used carefully, as it can also come across as a sales tactic.
