Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The noun "genius" takes different prepositions based on its context:
When referring to a natural talent or exceptional capability for a specific skill, the phrase "genius for [something]" is used (e.g., a genius for military tactics).

When designating an expert field of study where that cognitive intellect is realized, the phrasing "genius in [a field]" is used (e.g., a genius in Mathematics).

Thus, "for" and "in" are the correct choices.
