D) logos and pathos.

Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. Three of the must used rhetorical devices are ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos is an appeal to the audience's ethics, logos is an appeal to the audience's logic and pathos is an appeal to the audience's emotions. In the given excerpt from "Save the Redwoods" we can see that the author compares a calaveras tree to George Washington to appeal to the audience's logic and emotions, so the correct answer is logos and pathos (option D).
