Answer:
A. Above in the heavens
In the painting The School of Athens, Plato is depicted pointing upwards, towards the heavens. This is symbolic of his belief that truth is found above in the heavens, rather than on Earth. Plato believed in the existence of eternal, unchanging truths that existed in a higher realm and could be discovered through contemplation and reason. He believed that these eternal truths were more real than the physical world and that the physical world was a mere reflection of the higher realm.
