Explanation:

A maxim is a personal rule or principle guiding one's action. The statement “I will read a book when I get bored so as to improve my mind” is a personal rule (maxim). A categorical imperative is a universal moral command (e.g., “Act only on maxims you can will as universal law”), not personal. Universal law is broader, applying universally, while this is personal. Formulation refers to expressing a concept, not a personal rule.

A. maxim
