Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Writers who appeal to an audience's emotions usually use some form of logic or reasoning to support their emotional appeal, thus appealing to their audience's sense of reason as well. This helps to make their emotional appeals more convincing and effective. The other statements are not true, as writers who appeal to an audience's sense of reason may use graphics (A) and writers who appeal to an audience's emotions may not do so dramatically (B) or may appeal to both emotions and reason (D).
