Yes it is 3.
5 is wrong because of parallel construct.
"concerns about crime are greater than health care"- this parallel construct wrongly compares 'concerns' (about crime) with 'health care'. It would have been like this: "concerns about crime are greater than that of health care"
I hope I am clear.
