Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By emphasizing relational similarities, persuaders create identification with the audience, meaning the audience sees themselves as similar to the persuader and thus more likely to be persuaded. Friendship (A) may be one result of identification, but it is not the primary goal. Inducements (B) and coercion (C) are not related to the concept of relational similarities in persuasion.
