The correct answer is D. Attempts to change people's attitudes, values, beliefs, or behavior.

Explanation:

Persuasion is the act of trying to convince someone or influence him/ her in order to change their beliefs or attitudes.

It tends to be gradual and the main goal is to change the individual's mindset so it does not capitalize on the fears and dreams of the audience. It does not tend to be forced, it can be understood as a sly form of ensuring change and it does not aim to weaken beliefs, it wants to change those.
