The correct answer is options (A)

Kant wants to develop moral philosophy so as to avoid

(a) discussing the objectivity of moral principles, as this is really relativism in disguise

Explanation:

According to the German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, the rightness or wrongness of actions does not depend on their consequences but on whether they fulfill our duty. With this, he avoided the objectives of moral principles, and assumed that morals principles are relative in consequence. Kant believed that there was a supreme principle of morality, which he referred to it as "The Categorical Imperative"
