Explanation:

The statement "Now incredible it is that in this high - existence, we should hate and destroy one another" is likely aiming to evoke strong emotions in the audience. Pathos is the rhetorical appeal that targets emotions. It is not establishing the speaker's credibility (ethos) or presenting a logical argument (logos).

Answer:

C. Pathos, to evoke emotional concern and sadness
