The answer is D: Have the courage to use your own understanding.

Immanuel Kant defined the age of Enlightenment in a short article titled, What is Enlightenment? In this text, Kant uses this phrase, which is Latin and literally translated means, dare to know, to express the idea that reason should stand on its own principles (the categories, in Kant´s philosophy) which do not derive from authority nor do they have a divine origin.
