Default Optionals Confusion- CE2020

Hi guys,

After doing extensive research for days, going through Syllabus and recent past paper of every subject and came to select these subjects below:-

Here are my Optionals:-
IR
US History
Gender Studies
Criminology
Anthropology/ Sociology/Psychology?
Which subject should one opt between these? I have to select one from the last group. I'd have chosen language but there's a ton of difference in speaking your regional language and writing it, so I'm not comfortable going ahead with mother tongue, which leaves me with above 3 subjects, Journalism & Mass Communication syllabus seems to get lengthier with time since their merge so it's out of frame too.
I've been through Syllabus and past papers of these subjects, can't find much difference as their syllabus looks equal lengthy and interesting, Psychology looks bit shorter but it's more for science background I guess and I'm from Arts background, so if you could kindly help me clear this confusion I'll be grateful to you..

Go for sociology as there will be overlap with Criminology.
Sociology, Criminology and Gender go together very well.

If you are good at analysis and can tackle general questions easily ,with it on the other side bad at ratification , then go for sociology . Syllabus of Psychology is not short now , it used to be!! in old days when same syllabus was for 200 marks subject, and Psychology is a technical subject,as you can know from examiner's report that person having background in psychology are the preference of examiner .
On the other hand anthropology is also a good subject as these new subjects like gender studies , criminology and anthropology seem to be scoring now a days .

Go for sociology, you'll find tons of material, down to the very intricate level, online
Makes for a convenient and joyful study/prep
On the other hand:
Anthropology, scarce study resources. If you don't have a friend who's done BS or Masters in it; you'll get stuck with some topics and/or won't feel satisfied about your paper attempting finesse.
