Explanation:

To determine how the excerpt appeals to readers' emotions, we analyze each option:

• The first option talks about providing facts to impress scientific minds, but the excerpt is more about evoking emotion, not impressing with facts.
• The second option mentions describing bird migration to excite adventure, but the excerpt focuses on how artificial lights harm animals, not exciting adventure.
• The third option: The excerpt gives examples of vulnerable animals (frogs with reduced populations, confused sea turtle babies, confused migrating birds) which is likely to make readers feel sympathy for these animals.
• The fourth option says it explains how birds fly at night to awe readers, but the excerpt's main point is about the harm of artificial lights, not explaining flight to awe.

Answer:

The excerpt uses examples of vulnerable animals, such as confused sea turtle babies, to make readers feel sympathetic.
