The correct answer is D. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know.

Explanation:

The word Pathos originated in Ancient Greece and means "suffering", additionally Pathos refers to the speaker appealing to the emotions, feelings and previous experiences of the audience to convince them of some point or illustrate what is being explained. due to this Pathos is considered as a communication and persuasion technique. Considering this, in the case of option D., the author of "Silent Spring" Rachel Carson is appealing to the feelings and experiences of the reader related to the tragedies cause in different context by the use of pesticides as she expects the reader is familiar with this "this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know"

and by making the reader being aware of how communities suffer due to this issue "many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them". Thus, as Rachel Carson in "Silent Spring" during this excerpt (Option D) is appealing to the feelings and experiences of the reader, she is appealing to the readers' Pathos.
