No, you are,
Destroy because the problem will occur again. Not because it is inevitable, but because of your action in choosing destroy.
So if Destroy will result in another conflict (because of Destroy), how again it is ANY kind of solution for the Catalyst?

Control because this new Catalyst isn't Shepard. Therefore you have no real control of what IT does or doesn't do. Thus this new catalyst falling back into a logically-flawed loop could happen again.
IT is created based on Shepard and Shepard's thoughts and personality guide IT. As we can clearly see,

Basically, if the Catalyst's logic is flawed, you cannot pick either 3 of these options as they will be equally flawed as a result.
You're just looking for reason to equate all 3 options as bad because it didn't get happy ending. Nothing to do with constructive discussion.
Jade is right. All solutions thus far that the kid has enacted are temporary. Some may last longer but they always fall apart. The reapers are not working because people have almost finished the crucible this time and Shepard discovered the kid. Synthetics gained sapience. This is not what the kid wanted at all. Destroy does temporarily solve the problem-it destroys all synthetics. That's the kid's goal. So, it's achieved. Not perfect, but nothing is.
Control is ominous. It isn't Shepard-it is Shepard's thoughts and memories and not his/her personality. Your personality and who you are is wrapped up in your feelings. Shreaper has none of this. My paragon Shepard as reaper controller says things that she would never say, so I know that is not Shepard. And, who in their right mind would want to be buddies with reapers that have destroyed half their planet and have people goo in them? No one. Not ever. And which Many will this god Shepard serve with the reapers as galactic police? If the Krogan fight the Turians, who will Shreaper save? Control doesn't necessarily get rid of the kid, it just adds Shepard's thoughts to the rest of the reaper beings. It actually preserves the status quo and then some. The reapers become a fact of life in the galaxy. This peace is temporary.
Synthesis is wrong on so many levels. The kid wants it most of all. He's going to give synthetics full understanding of organics? How? And really how does that guarantee they still won't become killer robots? Understand your enemy, know your enemy. I understand mosquitoes. I squish them. But still how will the kid impart this understanding? Where does he get it from and what is it? Is it the knowledge that organics are made of flesh and blood and bone and can be squished like mosquitoes? Because I don't think the kid has a clue of what it's like to be a living breathing organic being and those thought bubbles inside reapers have no emotions, so they don't still even understand what being organic means. And perfection through tech? No thanks. Don't want reaper tech in me and if the kid is the model, he is far from perfect. Again, it is temporary, because very understanding killer robots could exist with full understanding of organics that no longer exist. And someone could create organic and synthetic life and the kid still exists somewhere.
All 3 choices stem from the same tree. They can't be separated.
