Answer:
The correct answer is 1. incomplete comparison.
Explanation:
In the example, there can certainly exist a logical relation between the two propositions (inquisitive students - make - better students), however, since there is not enough information, a logical relation between them cannot be properly constructed. If the comparison presented some sort of argument then it would be complete. For instance: "Inquisitive children, <em>since they are more curious and open to learning</em>, make better students". Without the argument, the idea seems more like an unsustained opinion, based on prejudice, than anything else.
I believe that would be option D.
Hope it helps!

- Fused sentence.
Explanation:
'Fused sentence' is described as the type of run-on sentence in which two independent clauses run together(one after another) without any coordinating conjunction or marks of punctuation to keep the two ideas separate.
The given sentence exemplifies 'fused sentence' as it justifies the above definition where two independent clauses('My mother and father are both scientists' and ' it must have been my just need to become interested in biology') run together without employing any punctuation or conjunction to link them.
