Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Someone asked the Oracle at Delphi, allegedly, the question, “Who is the wisest man in the world?” And the Oracle answered, “Socrates… Socrates is the wisest man.”

Then, according to Socrates’ testimony, Socrates himself was shocked when he heard the Oracle’s proclamation. “For I felt,” explained Socrates, “that I knew nothing.”
