B: Pathos

Explanation:

The fact that Usama decided to include his encounter with Loki the wolfdog as part of his campaign shows that his intention is to connect with his audience throught their emotions, and thereby influence their decisions in his favor. Aristotle taught that Pathos is the way of persuasion that relates to people's emotions.
