Detailed Solution

Concept: As it is clearly stated in our first line of the passage that evil is prime ignorance which answers our question of Socrates’ conclusions about evil people. Thus this states that the correct answer in option 3, that they're ignorant.
Option 1: This is wrong because as per the statement the intellectual or rational is more dominant.
Option 2: This is wrong because Socrates states that they're ignorant and then they need incomplete knowledge.
Option 4: This is also incorrect because Socrates doesn’t state anything within the passage, abou being inherently virtuous but incapable of showing it.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
