Mazen,
Your second post is on the right track. I think you got confused in your first post because you couldn't overcome your misinterpretation of "genre" - "fiction" is not a genre. You seemed to realize that - you listed "mystery" and "science fiction" as two separate genres yourself, so you must have recognized that, not all fiction being science fiction, if "science fiction" is a genre, then genre distinctions WITHIN fiction (so different types of fiction are different genres) are already entailed.
Passage B further makes that clear when it speaks (from the first sentence) about "genres of fiction". If "fiction" is a genre, "genres of fiction" makes no sense. Instead, subtypes of fiction are the genres of fiction.
That being clarified, I think your key misunderstanding is cleared up. Let us know if you have any further questions!
