Explanation
This question is asking us to analyze why the author may have included certain photographs and a caption after a particular paragraph. Selecting the correct answer requires understanding the narrative tidelines and the overall theme. The detail about Almeida becoming an expert and her skills to create a sharp, clear picture of the virus hints that the photographs support this fact. The mention of scientists rejecting these findings due to the photos being just "blurry pictures of the flu virus" indicates a response to this criticism. Moreover, the coinage of a name does not relate messily to the inclusion of photographs. So it is likely that the photographs were included the way they were to support the fact of Almeida's expertise and her unique contribution despite the criticism she faced.
