Stem clue - "pseudo-intellectuals" and "inane" both words point to some half-baked, silly ideas about neo-Marxism and existentialism.
We are looking for answers that are close to in meaning with 'false', 'dubious' or 'wrong', basically anything that indicates an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the theories. Looking at the options, we have 'spurious' which means of dubious authenticity, and from the rest of the list, only 'fallacious' is a close meaning - of or related to fallacy or logic - and is often used to describe faulty arguments. Again, an Easy rather than a Medium difficulty level.
