Utilitarianism

Explanation:

The most reasonable among them is utilitarianism. This is because it is the only one that put others into consideration. The action promotes happiness and pleasure while it always rejects unhappiness and displeasure.

Egoism is a moral that always think about self, it only focuses on pleasing self even if it is at the detriment of others.

Virtue ethics also consider normal only when it obey some virtue, while deontology is considered good only when it obeys the set norms.
