According to Plato, particulars are not :
Answer: C
For Plato, particulars are not identical with forms.
Plato separates two worlds: the eternal, perfect Forms and the changing particulars of sense. Particulars participate in the Forms and resemble them, but always imperfectly; a beautiful thing is beautiful only by sharing in Beauty itself, and it can lose its beauty, while the Form cannot. Particulars therefore can never be identical with the Forms.
Plato does describe particulars as copies, imitations and, in the allegory of the cave, shadows of the Forms. These are the ways he expresses their dependence on and inferiority to the Forms, so those options describe what particulars are.
