The answer is A. How-to
Explanation:
In general, texts are classified into genres according to their function and features. In the case of texts such as manuals or recipes that guide readers through a process or teach them something, these belong to the how-to genre. The how-to genre as indicated by its name focuses on "how to do" things for example, how to cook lasagna or how to repair the washing machine. Moreover, this is part of nonfiction writing because it is based on real processes. According to this, this is the genre that instructs readers on how to do something.

Well, from my experience, it would be prewriting. Prewriting is where you come up and brainstorm ideas. Its when you scribble ideas and write out a plan on the direction that you want your paper to head to, where you would write a list or draw a picture on key points you want to hit on the paper.
