Exposure to low-intensity gamma radiation slows the rate of growth of the spoilage microorganisms in food in much the same way that the low heat used in pasteurization (i) _______ the spoilage action of the microorganisms in milk.

Since the low intensity slows the growth of microorganisms causing spoilage of food similarly we need a word that reduces the growth of microorganisms in milk during pasteurization. options B,C and D are out of scope. Preclude means to avoid from happening but inhibit means to hamper(growth in this case). These words can be used interchangeably but here inhibits makes more sense as mentioned above.
hope it helps!
