OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Catering to, pandering to.
Pynchon "ignored the sensibilities of the general public rather than" paying attention to them. "Catering to" and "pandering to" best match this meaning. "Cowering to" and "recoiling from" are a little too dramatic and extreme for this sentence. Neither "coping with" nor "commiserating with" fits the intended meaning (nor do they have a pair among the answers).
