Discussion

Explanation:

The writer discusses the nature of the “hard problem of consciousness” in paragraphs 2 and 3. The hard problem of consciousness can be briefly explained as the following: when the brain is stimulated, we feel certain sensations; however, it is not possible to explain why we feel those sensations – in other words, how we feel those sensations is understood but not why. This is further explained in paragraph 4: “philosophers have declared that certain phenomena are too special to be explained by physical science – light, chemistry, life – only to be subsequently proven wrong by the relentless march of scientific progress.” So the question that cannot be answered is “why do humans take birth?” The rest of them are explainable.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
