The part following the blank indicates that the sentence is about the dreams of producing more powerful men. Eugenic is the only option that indicates higher quality.

Superheroes were invented during an era of _____ speculation, when dreams of Übermenschen – machine-men, aerialists and space-bound conquistadors – tantalized philosophers and engulfed fascists.

We have two clues here - "superheroes" and "machine-men, aerialists and space-bound conquistadors".

So we are talking about superior men.

What kind of speculation results in dreams of superior men?

From among the choices, eugenic is the best one, because eugenics is the science of creating superior breeds of human beings.
