Answer: C
Moore says Berkeley fails to distinguish consciousness and the object of consciousness.
In 'The Refutation of Idealism' (1903), G. E. Moore attacks the principle esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived. He argues that every sensation has two elements: the consciousness, which is common to all sensations, and the object, such as blue or green, which differs. Idealism treats the object as if it were part of the consciousness, so it confuses the sensation of blue with blue itself.
The other distinctions, logical and psychological objects, the subject of consciousness, or perceived and imagined objects, are not the point of Moore's argument.
