Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

b. Argument; conclusion: From a historical point of view, genetics is a young science.

Explanation:

An argumentative text or essay is one that proffers some premises which are then followed by a conclusion. It follows a logical order where the premises offer reasons why the conclusion should be accepted as true.<em> Sometimes. however, the conclusion can come before the premises. </em>The writer of this text wants us to believe that genetics is a young science. This is the conclusion. He then goes on to provide historical proof or statements of facts that support this conclusion.

So the excerpt is not just a narrative of the origin and growth of the study of genetics over time and its condition today. It is an argument to support the fact that genetics is a young science.
