2. Which of the following does Kant maintain tells us what we absolutely MUST do?

(B) The categorical imperative receives several 'formulations' by Kant, though it is possible to questions whether they really are just different ways of putting the same thing. One formulation is: 'Act only on that maxim you can will to be a universal law.'

(C). When your reason tells you to do x if you want to achieve y it is issuing what Kant calls a hypothetical imperative.

(A) and (D) are not Kantian terms.
