    C). The senses are a source of error, illusion, and ignorance.

    Explanation:

    Plato, the renowned Athenian philosopher and the founder of Western religion and philosophy. He was the most considerate student of Aristotle who has played a vital role in Ancient Greek history and western school of thought (named 'Platonist school').

    As per the question, he must have agreed with the thought that 'senses are mere a source of illusion, error, and ignorance' as he believed that 'true reality could not be discovered with the senses'. According to him, senses are not reliable and one should pay emphasis on the intellect as they provide a greater province of reality while the senses are mere an illusion. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
