To calculate the importance score sum for option C, we multiply each criterion weight by its corresponding rank and then add them up. 
For Option C: 
(0.3 x 3) + (0.2 x 2) + (0.3 x 3) + (0.2 x 2) = 0.9 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 0.4 = 2.3
Therefore, the importance score sum for option C is 2.3.
The best choice(s) cannot be determined as we do not have information about the ranks of the other options.
