True,
IMO A,

In B also critique and envisioning are not parallel
But the OA says B !

I have a different take to this

what should be the best bet after " all chemistry".
all chemistry since Robert Boyle ... seems bad enough
all chemistry following Robert Boyle ... if we think of following as affililiation to Boyle rather than as after him

As far as his envisioing, the gerund does make up a noun to parallel Critique

Guys OA is correct
Difference between A & B.... Job is to modify Eassay.....,
From A it says Eassay, A as well as B that is new chemistry right ???
so it shows only B is new chemistry

Now
From B it says A and also B that means both are new chemistry
The real problem would have been it only A and B was given as option
