The correct answer is:

THEY BOTH ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO DISCOVER ETHICAL VALUES THROUGH REASON.

Step-by-step explanation:

Socrates was Plato's instructor and the concept of “the philosopher” whom Plato characterizes in his Dialogues which gives the reader a portrait of Socrates, for that no individual biography exists, and also gives the reader something of the education of Socrates himself.
