Explanation:

Ethos appeals to ethics and credibility, which isn't shown here as he doesn't list accomplishments. Logos relies on logic and statistics, not present either. However, words like "cowardice", "vacillation" are emotionally - charged, indicating pathos to evoke feelings about the state of affairs.

C. Pathos, because DuBois uses emotionally charged words to describe his feelings on inequality
