    • Metaphysics expert

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Metaphysician
    Explanation
    A person who is engaged in the study or practice of metaphysics is called a metaphysician. This term specifically refers to someone who explores the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and the relationship between mind and matter. Philosophers, on the other hand, encompass a broader range of individuals who study and contemplate various aspects of knowledge, ethics, logic, and reality. While a metaphysics expert could be an appropriate term to describe someone knowledgeable in metaphysics, it is not as commonly used as the term metaphysician. Therefore, the correct answer is "Metaphysician."
