broad ' is natural. The 2 other verbs are inappropriate because they require active division, and that is not the case here; the writer is merely viewing the results. Big and large sound odd here-- I suppose that either 'broad categories ' is highly collocated or the two other adjectives evoke the wrong dimensions.
