Which statement best describes Patrick use of pathos

The correct answer is A.

The speaker of the poem is the grass, who is determined to keep growing.

Throughout the poem, the grass asks to be provided with manure: bodies it can decompose and transform into nutrients to keep growing and covering the earth. Just shovel them under the earth so it can work.

The grass explains that it can grow anywhere, even in battlefields. It can grow and conceal horrible events, to the point that after years of growing, people wouldn't know what happened before.
