2 its just right
They are all good since they are all single extruded so no food remains getting in between the metal part and the plastic/wood/other
Though, we could argue that 1. is better that the others for the easy grip due to its in-curved handle. Or that its diametrical opposite, number 5. Is the best thanks to its filleted handle making it easier to hold in the case of the food scooped by it not being very hard.

1 is too short, 2 is too top heavy, 3 is too thin and light, and 5 is almost a spork.

For me it's 5 times the same fork 🤔
I like the one that doesn't have an unnecessary apostrophe.
I actually own the cutlery set that 5 is from. Because it was the best option at IKEA at the time.
2 No discussion, the weight, the smoothness, ist all about how they lay in the Hand.
2 with 3's handle,
2's head is just weirdly always satisfying
but 2's handle is a bit comical

None of them are great, all too thin and probably have hard 90° edges from being stamped cheap metal, but maybe 2. Five can fuck off, too wide and trying to be a spoon, the rest are too narrow in the handle.
My fork is the correct fork. None of these are my fork.
In the event of a fork loss, any of these forks could become my fork after a period of time, probably about a month or so until it felt right.
1 is just a funny goofy guy doing his job well not concerned about what the other forks think. I choose him.

Number 5 is the best, fight me. The wide, rounded handle provides a comfortable grip, and the slightly shorter prongs, combined with the bulge on the outer ones give it a friendly look. You don't want to put some aggressive looking stabbing device like the disgusting number 2 into your mouth do you? Where all the soft, vulnerable stuff is? Come on. And don't get me started on the handle of number 3, that is just atrocious, way to thin and I can already feel it digging into my skin when just trying to apply modicum of rotational force into my food.

Forget the handles because they all suck. The flared outer tines are a sin and the shorter tines on 1 is a war crime. I would take 3. Ergonomically it's not terrible and I can deal.
Why would this not apply to neurotypicals? seems to me that most people would have at least a slight preference
I am wondering the opposite as a neurodivergent. Why aren't all of them kind of fine? Like, one is going to be better than the other, but it seems like a hard pick.
Maybe I am too autistic to consider about forks.
