A Correct answer
Explanation

This quote encapsulates Socrates' famous statement 'I know that I know nothing' (from Plato's Apology), expressing his philosophy that true wisdom comes from recognizing one's own ignorance. Plato was Socrates' student, Aristotle was Plato's student, and Sophocles was a playwright, not associated with this epistemological statement. The Socratic method is built on this principle of intellectual humility.
