The social sciences areless likely than other intellectual

enterprises to get credit for theiraccomplishments.

Arguably, this is so because the theories andconceptual

constructs of the social sciences areespecially accessible:

human intelligence apprehends truths abouthuman affairs

with particular facility.

This underappreciation of the social sciencescontrasts

oddly with what many see as their overutilization.Game

theory is pressed into service in studies ofshifting

international alliances. Evaluation researchis called upon

to demonstrate successesor failures of social programs. Yet

this rush into practical applications isitself quite

understandable: public policy mustcontinually be made,

and policymakers rightly feel that evententative findings

and untested theories are better guides todecision-making

than no findings and no theories at all.

The author confronts the claim that the social sciences are being overutilized with
A proof that overextensions of social science results are self-correcting
B evidence that some public polic is made without any resource to social science findings or theories
c. a long list of social science applications that are perfectly appropriate and extemely fruitful
d. the argument that overutilization is by and large the exception rather than the rule
e. the observation that this practice represents the lessor of two evils under existing circumstances

我的问题是：1.第二段中那个game theory 与这一段的开头句和它后面的句子是什么关系，我没太理解它是个例子还是什么？在这段这个game theory是起什么作用的？
                     2. 为什么选E？

非常感谢~~~

应该是个例子，作为社会理论的一种。怎么感觉E里面是不是有单词打错了，不过这个题目问的是作者将社会科学被过度利用和什么什么做了比较，应该是第二段的开头那句话吧，under appreciation
