60. Inscrutable

From, “What Do a Bunch of Old Jews Know About Living Forever?” by Jesse Green, published 11/6/11 New York (magazine):

“He [the doctor who is conducting a longevity research] theorized that these “SuperAgers,” as he calls them, must have something that protects them from all four conditions. Otherwise, when they didn’t have a heart attack, say, at 78, they’d have succumbed quickly to the next thing on their body’s inscrutable list.”

Which of these words are appropriate synonyms  - arcane, ambiguous, uncanny?
