what do idealistic philosophies (like plato’s) argue?
decisions should be made based on the outcomes of the majority.
life is meaningless.
perceptions are rooted not in the external world, but in the mind.
this is the best of all possible worlds.

Explanation:

Idealistic philosophies, including Plato's, hold that the realm of ideas (or mind - related concepts) is more fundamental than the external physical world. The option "Decisions should be made based on the outcomes of the majority" is related to democratic decision - making, not idealism. "Life is meaningless" is a nihilistic view, not idealistic. "This is the best of all possible worlds" is associated with Leibniz's optimism, not idealism. The option "Perceptions are rooted not in the external world, but in the mind" aligns with the idealistic view that the mind (or ideas) is the source of perception and reality.

Answer:

C. Perceptions are rooted not in the external world, but in the mind.
