Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
This question asks us to match important epistemological and metaphysical ideas with philosophers.

Step 1: Match Forms are absolute.
Plato held that Forms or Ideas are eternal, absolute and perfect. So: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match To be is to be perceived.
The statement: \[ \text{To be is to be perceived} \] is the famous idealist principle of Berkeley. So: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Match causes of impressions are unknown.
Hume held that we only know impressions and ideas, but the ultimate causes of impressions are unknown. So: \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Match primary qualities.
Locke distinguished between primary and secondary qualities. According to Locke, primary qualities exist in the objects. So: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Final matching.
The correct matching is: \[ A-III,\ B-IV,\ C-I,\ D-II \] Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
