Answer:
B). The narrator's self-dissection experiment.
Explanation:
Science fiction exemplifies the literary genre which is inclined towards displaying imagined futuristic concepts including scientific facts, technological advances, etc. The short story 'Exhalation' by Ted Chiang is categorized into this genre as it carries the plot of a scientist's (probably narrator's) experiment of dissecting his own brain.
