Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
"Genus" refers to the general category or class to which a specific thing belongs. In this definition, "line of separation" is the genus because it is the overarching category to which the specific thing, the horizon, belongs. The horizon is a specific example of a line of separation between two things, which could include other examples such as the horizon of a lake or the horizon between two mountains.
