Answer;

d. allows a geologist to predict what minerals will be found in a given igneous rock.

Explanation;

-Bowen's reaction series was deduced through laboratory procedures that cooled molten rock; the crystal formation in the igneous rocks produced always followed the same order.

-Bowen's Reaction Series is a proposed sequence of mineral crystallization from basaltic magma, based on experimental evidence. it is a schematic description of the order in which minerals form during the cooling and solidification of magma and of the way the newly formed minerals react with the remaining magma to form yet another series of minerals.
