Answer 1

The correct answer is:

d. Those who only appear good and just, and those who are truly just but appear to be unjust or have their reputations spoiled by others, perhaps for the benefit of the spoilers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glaucon the Athenian, who was the son of Ariston and the philosopher Plato's older brother, agreed with Socrates' idea about justice. they defend the concept as something really desirable as a common factor in society, and that legally justice is an idea that must be always prevailing due to the benefits that it brings to society.
