Explanation:

Kantian deontologists evaluate actions by the categorical imperative, which is the core of Kant's moral theory. The categorical imperative provides rules (like universalizability) to determine moral rightness. Evaluating the relevant maxim is part of applying the categorical imperative, but the primary method is using the categorical imperative. Evaluating the act’s morality is vague, and evaluating total good/bad is consequentialist (not deontological). So the correct option is the one about evaluating the categorical imperative.

Answer:

By evaluating the categorical imperative
