Solution
The audience appeal Hirohito most clearly uses in this excerpt is D. Ethos and Logos.
Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it's a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Hirohito is using Ethos when he talks about Japan's "sincere desire to ensure Japan's self-preservation and the stabilization of East Asia". He is trying to convince his audience that Japan's actions were ethical and based on a sincere desire for self-preservation.
Logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason. Hirohito uses Logos when he says that it was "far from our thought either to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement". He is using logic to explain that Japan's actions were not intended to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to gain territory.
