Answer:

D. Matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Hobbs was a thinker and political philosopher who led an active life in the intellectual realm, be it in history, philosophy, politics, or even mathematics. He was also credited with being the founder of modern political philosophy.

According to the philosopher, a man's moral values do not matter nor does it exist. rather, what matters and only exists in this life is matters. To him, there is only one category of things that existed and that is the things, material things of the world.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
