The correct answer is indeed a rhetorical question.
Rhetorical questions are those questions which don't necessarily need an answer. They just show us what somebody is thinking about, and it doesn't mean they want their question answered. This is what the excerpt above is about.

Answer: C) Rhetorical question.

Explanation: When writing, an author can use several rhetorical devices in order to persuade, inform or impact the audience in the desired way. One common rhetorical device is a rhetorical question, which is a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer. In the given excerpt we can see an example of two rhetorical questions that will create an impact on the audience.
