The correct answer is C. Of course it is wrong to let young people miss out on quality education.

Explanation:

In rhetoric, an appeal to ethics occurs when the speaker or writer uses ethics (actions, behaviors, etc. considered as right or wrong) or in some cases the credibility of the speaker or writer to defend a point. This type of appeal is considered as invalid by some people because it does not rely on logic; however, it is widely used by people to defend a point. This can be seen in option C "Of course it is wrong to let young people miss out on quality education" because the only reason that supports the need for quality education is that denying it is ethically or morally wrong and therefore this speaker or writer is appealing to the ethics to try to prove a point.
