The correct answer is COMPARE and CONTRAST ESSAY.

In a compare and contrast essay it is necessary to show the differences and similarities between at least two things.

The sentence provided is the thesis statement. Even though there are more than one structures you can follow, basically you are supposed to discuss both differences and similarities in the development of your essay.
