I’m going to repeat what I heard when we visited for the umteenth time: The AO that spoke to our roomfull of people on prospective student’ day said that doing the 5th option was the most risky, because how would you come up with more original and interesting prompts than they did? This led me to think that they do not want you to choose this option unless you are really original.

Btw, my dd did the mustard essay, but made it personal. We heard from her advisor that they enjoyed reading her application. In a way, she gave lip service to the prompt, but it motivated her.
