Official explanation:
The clue phrase here is "experts on...inner peace," along with the word "interesting." This latter word implies that there is something conflicting or contradictory in the way these experts respond "when confronted with evidence of the lack of effectiveness of their methods." The most contradictory response would be one that does not display much "inner peace," which makes a great filler for the blank.
(A) Introspection, meaning "the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes," may seem closely linked to the notion of "inner peace," but it's not quite right. It matches the word "inner," but it is not necessarily peaceful.
(B) Rationality, "the use of reason or logic," is similar to introspection, in that it is not necessarily peaceful.
(C) Practicality, meaning "the quality of being concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than theory or ideas," does not really relate to our filler phrase, "inner peace."
(D) CORRECT. Equanimity, meaning "calmness and composure," is a synonym of inner peace.
(E) Coherence, meaning "logic and consistency," does not relate to our filler phrase.
