Which argument relies primarily on an appeal to pathos, or emotion? A. Disease-resistance and high nutrient content often go hand-in-hand. By testing disease-resistant varieties for their nutritional content, we could find plants that would support the environment, consumers, and farm workers.

B. We want to be nourished by sunshine, rain, and healthy soil, so sustainably grown food should be at the top of our shopping lists.

C. When farmers grow crops, they remove nutrients from the soil. Without replenishment, land is depleted of nutrients and either becomes unusable or produces reduced yields. Sustainable agriculture replenishes the soil while minimizing the need for nonrenewable sources.

D. Imagine a three-legged stool. What happens if one of the legs breaks? The whole stool falls over. This three-legged stool is a metaphor for the need to consider the economic, social, and environmental impacts of agriculture. If the system fails in any one of these areas, it can no longer support producers and contribute to the community in the long term.
