“Man is the measure of all things” said :
Answer: A
The saying is Protagoras's.
Protagoras of Abdera, the leading Sophist of the fifth century BCE, declared that man is the measure of all things: of things that are, that they are, and of things that are not, that they are not. The saying expresses relativism: what appears true to each person is true for that person.
Plato reports and criticises it in the Theaetetus. Socrates sought universal definitions against such relativism. Parmenides held that only unchanging Being is real, and Gorgias, another Sophist, is known for his nihilistic thesis that nothing exists.
