Explanation:

An emotional appeal aims to evoke feelings. Option D directly addresses the audience, asking them to consider how a wage - raise would affect them or their loved ones, which is likely to stir emotions and convince them they can influence Congress by voicing their concerns. Option A is a statement of fact about Congress's action, Option B is a description of an individual's situation, and Option C is a binary statement without a strong emotional pull for the audience to act.

Answer:

D. "Let them know how raising the minimum wage would help you, or your family, or somebody that you know." (paragraph 8)
