The correct answer is A. Logos.

Logos refers to an appeal to logic or reason. In this excerpt, the author provides factual information about the unintended consequences of using a chemical to control mosquitoes. By mentioning the side effect of killing off a little wasp that preyed on caterpillars, the author presents a logical argument regarding the impact of human actions on the ecosystem. Additionally, the reference to Andrew Jackson's message to Congress on Indian Removal adds a historical context, further contributing to the logical appeal of the excerpt. Therefore, the excerpt primarily appeals to the reader's sense of logic and reason, making it an example of logos.
