Question :

Which one of the following best describes the word “epiphenomena” in the last sentence of the passage?

 
Option B is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

Note the context in which the word is used: "the scholar of visual culture seeks to regard images as evidence for explanation, not as epiphenomena". Substituting each of the answer options instead of 'epiphenomena' in this sentence, we see that only option B makes sense. Epiphenomena are phenomena supplemental to the evidence.
