ans:B

前辈在GWD分类中给出的解释：

这道题我会选A

首先，following后面的话，在这里应该接一本书比较好。相同的事物

其次，his是有问题的，his这里应该是指代Robert Boyle，但是是跟前面的his指代矛盾的

再次，envisioning动名词不好，应该使用名词vision

第四，critique和envisioning是不对称的，还是名词的问题，应该优先使用vision

最后，一个题外话，

google了一下，Robert Boyle (25 January 1627 – 30 December 1691)，Humphry Davy (1778 - 1829)

相差了100多年用following?? 我是觉得since是好的。而且a critique as well as a vision多么对称

综上所述，我选A，
