A) We can maximize the happiness of ourselves and others by identifying our own preference function.
B) We can create a better world by applying symbolic leadership and re-framing.
C) Since we have no stable preference function, it is pointless to try to be true to ourselves and our fellow human beings.

The textbook's reasoning in the chapter on the symbolic framework emphasizes the importance of creating a meaningful self-image and identity that aligns with our inner compass and acting with ethical leadership that does not conflict with this self-image. It does not suggest that we can maximize happiness by identifying our preference function or that creating a better world relies solely on symbolic leadership and reframing. Nor does it suggest that it is pointless to try to be true to ourselves and others. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.
