Answer :

Answer: D. Rhetoric is information spread for promoting a cause

Explanation: Information spread for promoting a cause is propaganda. Rhetoric can be understood as the way of saying things in an articulate, well-structured manner ("how it is said") and choosing cleverly which words, facts and ideas to omit and which ones to express ("what is said") with the intention of presenting an argument in an effective or convincing way ("the art of making a good argument").
