Filling in the underline

Hello, Dear Members and Gurus~~

I am wondering how natives think about this English language problem.

I am hoping for some native's opion....

*** To fill in the underline, which is most appropriate?

Policymaking is seen to be more objective when experts
play a large role in the creation and implementation of the
policy, and when utilitarian rationality is the dominant value
that guides policy. Through the use of the scientific method to
determine the facts of any given policy situation, the power of
social constructions is supposedly diminished, and solutions to
social problems are discovered in an objective way. This
process creates an illusion of neutrality and implies a
transcendence of the pitfalls and inequalities commonly
associated with policymaking. From this perspective, scientists
and professionals emerge as the appropriate experts to be
consulted in policymaking, while local citizen input and
knowledge is often viewed as unnecessary. Scientific and
professional policy design does not necessarily escape the
pitfalls of degenerative politics. Scientific and professional
expertise often relies on a particular type of knowledge that is
limited to utility and rationality considerations. This approach
to policy typically does not consider values and cultural factors
that cannot be measured empirically. Scientifically designed
policies can serve interests that run counter to the public
interest. They __________________________.

? use empirically proven theories to reflect locals’ input
? do stress cultural values rather than utilitarian ones
? may be free from the inequalities of policymaking
? can reinforce unequal and unjust relationships
? reveal objective solutions to social problems
