• A. Immanuel Kant
• B. Thomas Aquinas
• C. Henry Maine
• D. Edmund Burke

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

• The statement "Natural law is nothing other than the participation of eternal law in rational creatures… the imprint of God’s providential plan on man’s natural reason" was made by Thomas Aquinas. 
• Aquinas is a pivotal figure in the field of philosophy and theology. His interpretation of natural law is heavily influenced by his understanding of divine law and the role it plays in human reasoning. 
• Aquinas' natural law theory suggests that natural law is a part of the divine order that governs the universe, accessible through human reason. This remark illustrates his belief that humans, through their rational capacity, can understand and participate in this divine plan.
