    A capricious, exclusive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B immutable, comprehensible Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C transcendental, inscrutable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D deterministic, quantifiable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E benign, overt Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The first sentence discusses a worldview based on forces that are beyond human comprehension. "Transcendental" (meaning beyond ordinary experience or understanding) fits the description of governing forces, and "inscrutable" (meaning impossible to understand or interpret) perfectly matches the idea that these forces are unknowable. Thus, the correct answer is (c) transcendental, inscrutable.
