Answer 1

Answer:

D. You avoid talking about discretionary income to a room of senior citizens on a fixed income

Explanation:

Constraints are those factors that "restrict the persuasive strategies or opportunities available to a speaker or writer".  Sources of constraint include "beliefs, attitudes, documents, facts, tradition, image, interests, motives and the like."

A fixed income would become a source of constraint when talking about discretionary income to a room of senior citizens on a fixed income.
