The answer to this simple question is c.

Answer 2

Hey there! Let's get that question answered! 

First, let's see what you are looking for;

An essay that uses the words first, next, and finally indicates what type of organization? 

The bolded words above are the key factors to your question. 

A. Comparison and contrast; This answer is incorrect because when you compare and contrast things it tends to go a little more like this: 
"Black Bear vs Polar Bear," 
-"Both are bears, but one lives in icy weather and the other lives in a forest-type surrounding."-

B. Cause and effect; Once again, I am going to say incorrect, because usually when one event happens, it comes with that major BOOM factor that was caused by it. 

C. Chronological order; This answer is the most logical out of all of them. For example: "Debbie placed her shoes in the Chronological Order based on the date she bought them. First, her Nike's, in June last year. Next her boots, for the christmas bash a few weeks ago, and lastly her new flipflops for her beach vacation!" 

D. Examples and explanations; Is incorrect because you can have multiple examples and explantions on something that has happened, but it wouldn't have to be in a specific order. 

SOOO, C: Chronological Order is your answer!
