Final answer:

Plato defined the type of love emphasizing sexual attraction and pleasure as eros (C). It is distinct from both agape and philos, which represent selfless and brotherly love, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plato defined love that is selfish with a strong emphasis on sexual attraction and physical pleasure as C. eros.

This type of love contrasts with the other forms, such as agape, which is an unconditional, selfless love, and philos, which is a brotherly or friendship love.

Consummate love, which contains intimacy, passion, and commitment, is the ideal form of love according to many theories.
