The passage includes a principle and an analogy that applies that principle. In the swimming example, the principle appears to be that it’s more important to teach children to swim than to provide fencing for protection (even though both are important). So the priority is placed on empowering children.
The scope then shifts to soft drinks and candies that are advertised on television. It’s important to restrict children’s access to the soft drinks and candies, but it’s even more important to ...and this is where we can make a prediction.
If the principle places a priority on empowering children, then we can infer that the blank consists of something about teaching children to take control of their health. This choice does just that: teaching children how to make nutritional choices that are good for their well-being completes the passage’s analogy in a logical way.
