B Correct answer
Explanation

Assessments cannot be “well designed”, “substantial”, “irrefutable” and “valuable”, if this is so then public could be easily convinced. Thus, (1), (3), (4) and (5) can be opted out. If assessments are “inconclusive”, it gives meaning to the latter part of the sentence. Hence, (2) is the answer.
