Correct Answer: perhaps


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

In this case, perhaps is used to express a degree of uncertainty or likelihood. While it might not strictly adhere to a grammatical requirement, it fits the context of the sentence by suggesting that Korean shoppers may be among the world's most discerning, which allows for some uncertainty.

Therefore, the correct answer is perhaps.
