Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": Epicurus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Greek philosopher Epicurus (341 b.C. - 270 a.C.) was immortalized in the Latin poem "On the nature of things" -Lucrecio- in which Epicurus is attributed that the object of wisdom is to suppress the obstacles that oppose to happiness. This does not imply the pursue of unbridled pleasure, but of a measured lifestyle in which the spirit can enjoy friendship and the cultivation of knowledge.
