In Moore's critique of Hegelian Idealism, the main tenet under attack is :
Answer: A
The tenet under attack is "All relations are internal to their terms."
British idealists such as F.H. Bradley held the doctrine of internal relations: every relation a thing has enters into its nature, so that to know anything fully one must know its relations to everything else. This supported the monistic conclusion that reality is a single whole.
In 'The Refutation of Idealism' (1903) and especially in 'External and Internal Relations' (1919), G.E. Moore argued that at least some relations are external, not part of the nature of their terms. So the external-relations thesis is Moore's own view, and the other two options are not the idealist doctrine he targeted.
