Which of the following is considered a literary genre?

Mathematics
Science Fiction
History
Physical Education

The correct answer is: Science Fiction

Science fiction is considered a literary genre because it encompasses a specific category of literature that typically involves imaginative and futuristic concepts, such as advanced technology, space exploration, time travel, and extraterrestrial life. This genre allows authors to explore human experiences and societal issues through speculative scenarios, often prompting readers to ponder the implications of scientific advancements and the nature of humanity. In contrast, mathematics, history, and physical education are not classified as literary genres. Mathematics is a field of study focused on numbers and quantitative analysis, history involves the study of past events and their significance, and physical education centers on physical fitness and sports. These disciplines do not primarily involve storytelling or narrative techniques that define literary genres.
