Given its authoritative coverage of other science topics, the textbook's chapter on genetics is surprisingly tentative, which leads one to doubt the author's scholarship in that particular area.

IMo E.

The textbook covers various topics and genetics is one of the chapters. Hence I believe 'its' should modify the textbook, and not the chapter. In the answer choices, 'which' has no particular antecedents.

A suggestion: Going forward, kindly include the underline in the question stem.

What is the OA?
