Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Blank 1 — premised: “Premised on” means based on, which fits the sentence.

Blank 2 — organisation: “Structural organisation” refers to the arrangement or structure of genetic material.

Blank 3 — consciousness: Consciousness naturally fits with thought and moral agency as higher-level capacities.

Option elimination

Option 1: “Disorganisation” contradicts the idea of structured genetic material.

Option 2: “Interdependent on” and “division” do not fit the context.

Option 3: “Distribution” and “calibration” are unsuitable here.

Option 4: All three words fit grammatically and contextually.

Answer: Option 4 — premised; organisation; consciousness
