Explanation:
Appeal to emotion is demonstrated as the logical fallacy in which the author presents or manipulates the argument subjectively in order to persuade the audience emotionally to accept and believe in his claim.
As per the question, options B and C exemplify the sentences that employs ethos(ethical appeal) or pathos(emotional appeal) to convince the readers or audience emotionally to gain acceptance from them. The use of 'I' in option B('I...insurance') displays that the speaker persuades the audience ethically('credibility of the speaker') while the use of descriptive words like 'worst' convinces them by eliciting emotions of pity or sympathy. Thus, options B and C are the correct answers.
