Answer: D
The view that moral obligation is based on sentiment is advocated by Hume.
Hume argues in the Treatise (Book 3) that reason alone cannot move us to act and so cannot be the source of moral distinctions: morality is 'more properly felt than judg'd of'. Virtue and vice are known through the sentiments of approval and disapproval we feel on contemplating actions and characters.
Kant grounds obligation in practical reason and the categorical imperative, Aristotle in virtue and practical wisdom, and Plato in knowledge of the Good, so none of them bases morality on sentiment.
