Answer:

C) All we know is what we experience ourselves.

Step-by-step explanation:

David Hume believed in an empirical knowledge approach. He considers that all knowledge comes from experience, with sensitive data or impressions as its basic units. All our ideas come from a sensitive impression. Any idea must match an impression because the ideas are images/copies of the impressions. In this sense, the truth criterion of ideas is their correspondence to an impression.
