The correct answer is B. A body paragraph of the essay

Explanation:

An essay is an argumentative text written to defend an argument, in this it is common to find an introduction that presents the topic and ideas of the essay; a thesis that expresses the main claim; body paragraphs, each with an idea that is developed through arguments and evidence; and a conclusion that provides a closure.

The paragraph presented is more likely a body paragraph because in this the idea "Sandra Cisneros’s “Mericans” is about a young American girl of Mexican descent who is struggling to find her own cultural identity" is developed through different arguments and examples, which only occurs in body paragraph; also, this suggests the whole essay is related to analyzing a work of Sandra Cisneros and this paragraph develops one aspect of the topic.
