(a) The sentences show substitution or replacement. 1 talks about how new information will resolve the debate and not simply add noise to it as it does now. 2 talks about how the tomato sauce has been replaced with horseradish, mayonnaise and spices. 3 is talks about how instead of relearning over centuries, people will be able to learn faster from others' choices. RATHER THAN is used to show substitution of one thing with another, and can replace all the highlighted parts. Thus, (a) is the right answer. B is incorrect as AS A REPLACEMENT FOR will fit only in 2 and 3, not in 1. C is incorrect as IN PREFERENCE TO is used to show subjectivity of something. D is incorrect as IN RETURN FOR is used to show compensation.
