Idealism is a philosophical approach that argues that ____ are the only true reality, and the only thing worth knowing.
A
ideas
B
observations
C
experiences
D
physical objects
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epistemological idealism is the view that reality can only be known through ideas, that only psychological experience can be apprehended by the mind. Subjective idealists like George Berkeley are anti-realists in terms of a mind-independent world.

Detailed explanation-2: -Idealism can be argued for on ontological grounds, and then bring an epistemological argument in its train. Or an epistemological argument can be offered independently of ontological assumptions but lead to idealism, especially in the hope of avoiding skepticism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Subjective Idealism (or Solipsism or Subjectivism or Dogmatic Idealism or Immaterialism) is the doctrine that the mind and ideas are the only things that can be definitely known to exist or have any reality, and that knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified.
